Bug ID: 381471
Summary: High GPU load causing heat and battery drain
Product: kwin
Version: 5.10.2
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: compositing
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: gr...@sub.red
Target Milestone: ---
I'm really not sure with this one, because I don't know how to investigate
here.
For a while I've been observing constantly high GPU load even while doing
nothing. This causes the battery to drain, wasted energy and heat. I can
confirm the GPU is under load in intel_gpu_top and radeontop (on another
computer). Also, I've installed GNOME to see if it might be a driver problem
but I don't have high GPU usage with that DE.
Is there some tool where I can show which process is actually causing GPU load
or what's happening on the GPU?
