51-60 cpu usage while watching one video

[Denis Stoikovski]

My cpu is stupid garbage why do i get 51 usage while watching video -_- i have nothing else no skype no u torent no games nothing but i get 50 usage why? i5 3350p

which gpu, which player, what format and resolution are the video. details!

just for reference, my system (posted below) uses about 6 percent cpu with a 720p x264 video with mpc. that is mpc using 6 percent. not overall usage. have you checked exactly how much the video player is using?

I know only 1440x900 resolution video 720 and flash player btw that happened for first time its kinda strange i get in ac4 40-50 usage and now on a youtube video 50-60

you still havent listed your gpu

 

[Denis Stoikovski]

flash is terribly coded and uses a lot of cpu. i dont think what you are experiencing is unusual.

Hm but why that never happened before also i disabled dwm.exe yesterday did this affect the usage?

 

[neon neophyte]

i deleted that post. i checked and i actually get very low usage with flash at 720p. seems adobe has done a better job of offloading the work to the gpu than it was in the past. do you have a dedicated gpu or are your using what is built into the cpu?

flash is notorious for being buggy too. maybe uninstall and reinstall it. make sure it is up to date etc.

Oh excuse me gt 640

Make sure hardware acceleration is turned on. Right click on a flash video and choose settings.

You can also try to watch the same YouTube video using a different web browser.

not a great card but you would think it would be good enough to unload the work off the cpu. im stumped. sorry mate. not sure about the dwm thing, never touched it.

edit: oh right, i forgot hardware acceleration was a setting. it's always been naturally on for me.

How often were you analyzing your CPU usage while watching a video?

In my short experiment the Star Citizen trailer at 720P was putting my PII 955 @ 30% CPU usuage, which if it had half as many cores would be ~60%. The important thing to note here is that watching CPU-z at the same time showed that my CPU rarely kicked out of 800MHz mode, it was willing to go up to 40% load without kicking up the frequency because it really didn't need to.

Hm when i click trobleshoot in display the icon is white and dont give me to open it

Its strange i did it again watch a video with task manager on but now is 10-15-20 usage and i didnt do anything why? is my pc buggy or?

 

[neon neophyte]

listen to hunter, he could very well be onto something. cpus clock up and down depending on load and that can affect the percentage of cpu use you see.

Don't worry strange but that doesn't happen now hm i think its a virus or some system bug but is my cpu decent?

Its not often but i really like to watch how cpu's are running etc sometimes i just start the task mng to see the performance i do it in games tho and before hour just stratdet it while watching pewdiepie and 50-61 usage sometimes it goes to 40 50 and then to 8-20 but not it stayed on 50 to 60 and then i closed the chrome started it again along with the manager simultaneously with the chrome and it goes to 72 usage

 

[Denis Stoikovski]

Just did it again start task manager at once with chrome and this time did go to 85 why? this is strange i though the i5 3350p is gaming cpu but it looks like it isn't good even for desktop: edit now it goes to 94...

are you looking at overall cpu usage or are you looking at a specific process?

Im a newbie so i will try to answer this am starting together google chrome and task manager and when the manager shows the cpu usage goes to 94 or 81 or 51 or 65 then slowly goes to 3 or 0

ok well cpu usage spiking when you open task manager is totally normal. my 5ghz shoots up to 100 percent when i open task manager. it is very brief but i am running at 5 ghz.

it sounds like you are looking at your overall cpu usage, so really, you dont know what is using your cpu. you can see which specific programs are using what if you look

your cpu is fine. its not the cpu. it is just a lack of understanding/possible software issues.

Well the cpu isn't using so much things some host protection things svchost.exe the one is 6 240k the other 5304 and there is third which is 3 784k other thigs are nvdidia windows and intel thigs there are few that i dont know em pinkbuster
