Hi David,

Unfortunately we don't have any control over this, as we just use the Windows video rendering libraries. I tested it out on my end, and it seems to be an issue with the "Span image across all monitors" setting. If you set it to use a different image per monitor, or use the same image on each monitor, it should lower quite a bit.

Thanks!

When using a JPG file for the background/wallpaper DisplayFusion has <5% load. When using a .mp4 video as the wallpaper the GPU spike to >30%. It also seems to affect to the GPU usage of Desktop Window Manager >10-15%. When I change the video to anything else...the high GPU goes away. Now I'm sure using 1080 or 4k videos would take up some GPU process...but >30% seems extraordinary. I have tried a number of suggestions such disabling hooks, etc...turning off internet security and other similar apps...windows setting change about auto-color and such, but to no avail. Even small video files run the GPU up to 20%. The videos run fine, it's just the high GPU usage. Attached are some diagnostic files if needed.

Cheers
