Very high usage of GPU

[skysail]

Hello! Welcome to our forum!

Some GPU usage is expected - especially when moving maps is enabled. You can read an explanation as to why this is in this topic:

@skysail

Our app shares more similarities with a game engine than Photoshop. Our data includes anything from a large UIR to a 4-meter wide stop-line at an airport, and our map needs to keep track of all of this and dynamically render it to you every frame. This includes checking for collisions between labels, lines, etc. and is a complex process that requires resources. For a smooth experience, we need to render the map several (preferably 60) times every second during movement - and if you are using moving maps, the calculations and their results will look different every time so there are no optimization opportunities there that have not been applied already. If you are not moving the map at all, the process is optimized and you should see next to no effect on the battery drain as it essentially becomes “rasterized”.

This is the first time we have had a report of this being a problem at all though Does it affect you in any way?

@Aviatcheslav

I would like to add that I had a blue screen error when I flew with tracking ON

This sounds like a bad driver, or even a hardware issue (an early sign of a dying GPU). Overclocking could also be an issue if you have done anything like that! The BSOD might have happened while you were running our app, but only because the app happens to use the GPU when rendering the map.
The issue could also be caused by other hardware issues of course, such as faulty RAM for example.

I’d try to do a complete clean install of your GPU drivers! There are many tutorials on how to do this and they will do a much better job of describing the process than I will, but it’s not too involved.
Make sure that you install the latest available version!

Kind Regards,
