Whats standard CPU usage for nvidia container?

[Braiboo99]

Hi, just wondering what the standard usage for nvidia container is as it's using about 7% of my CPU?

There'll be no real standard, it'll use what it uses when it needs to use it. For example just browsing Steam the multiple instances of it are using 0%.

Unless you're experiencing real issues with your PC being unusable my advice would be don't browse through task manager looking for issues.

The percentage depends on what CPU you have. Your CPU has a capacity of how much it can process, the percentage reflects that, especially if you're using shadowplay.

When you have shadowplay enabled nVidia constantly records so that saving footage can be instant.

If you really don't want your nVidia container to use too much of your CPU you can disable shadowplay by opening your GeForce Experience with ALT + Z and turn off Instant Replay.

If you still want to use shadowplay you can also configure its settings and make it so it's only enabled during gameplay.

• Press ALT + Z to open GeForce Experience.
  
• Select the cogwheel.
  
• Scroll down and select Privacy Control.
  
• Disable Desktop capture, this will stop shadowplay from running when you're not playing a game.

If you still want shadowplay on all the time then ~7% isn't awful, some gets 30%, some gets 53%, your numbers are fine and dandy.

Did you forget why it was made, and what it do, there is no way you can win over how things work with it and what it do for you later, turn it off just make GPU card work even harder.

Sure there was some introduction issue and bugs, just dont explan why you think its a problem.
dont forget vulkan driver has show better game performance over old ways, most dont even argue with that, there simple to many diffrent harware user, thats a game devs and gpu card support that should know best.

i will even go further, steam might be neutral in this, to they dont care, untill all user sit and complain over it, then its turn off and game devs and GPU card support say user own problem for turn it off, its here steam will get the problem, and they will say as i do now , user own problem for not follow standard recommadation from GPU card support.

you might not like the reply,

we are user here, and game devs and GPU card support will be seen as they see fit.
and im sure they will say we cant help you then you turn it off , have a nice day, this is seen before as standard reply.

gl turn it off until your game lag, because it will miss the optimized value. ( this has already happend for several gamers in highend games then it optimized heavy zones, so FPS runs better. )


To show result to external unit still require its made and optimized through main pc. ( and still is effect on what current external unit can handle in video out screen. )

a total turn off is possible if you dont need it at all, but most user do because they can now.
sit on a dump and play a game or be a remote place, then its not that simple and turn off is not a option.

Did you recently update to 531.18? I am seeing increased idle CPU usage on "NVDisplay.Container.exe" as well.

Yes I did and thank you, thought it was because I never noticed it but now I'm sure it's a driver issue thanks to your info. Also that's the most recent driver isn't it?

Yeah, at the moment it's the most recent one. Restarting the "NVIDIA Display Container LS" service (temporarily) fixed it for me without restarting the entire system, I guess you can downgrade or just wait it out until the next driver.

At the moment its not causing a big issue so I might wait a little while for the next driver update, was just a little concerned by its high usage overall. Thank you for your help.

good

This is apparently still an issue as I still get it. Usually, it starts after the PC has been sleeping and is woken up. I started with killing the container in the task manager but it would respawn with the same problems I finally found that if you kill PresentMon, which is another NVidia process which the container uses along with it, it will force the whole thing to restart. CPU load dropped by 4% when I did it all together as well as a 20 degree (F) drop in temps at idle. NVidia doesn't like sleep mode apparently.

Rebooting does the same thing, but this is quicker.

sleep mode, other steam user notice stay in own home lib and not steam store page then it work with hibernation, not sure if this help with the nvidia container, but go ahead and test this.

It depends on your cpu but I use a 6yr old cpu and it only goes up to about %6 peak.
