I'm seeing between 2-5% GPU usage with this dwm thing. Seems to average about 3% or so. On a 5800X with 2080Ti and dual 1440 G-Sync DisplayPort connected monitors.
Ah well, it will be fixed soon

Ah. I was curious to see. I see 0% on GPU-Z and 1% in task manager on 497.29.

I've gone back to the 472.12's AGAIN!
Apparently if you have a GSNYC monitor, dwm.exe is spamming NV service REG queries ~1000 times a second and could use up to 5% GPU usage in certain scenarios (nvidia drivers 511.65 and 511.72)
Load up Process Monitor and see for yourselves ( Gsync Monitors )

Nvidia are looking into it
Does this show up within task mgr?
Because I can't see it.
I don't install GFE though.

Thanks, yes, I can see it now, with Procmon.

Is this still the case if you install with NVSlimmer and remove all the gubbins ?

Yes
It's looking more and more likely that it's Display port/GSYNC related
Scroll down, you'll see more reports of it now, with some saying it uses more cpu cycles than spotify or a browser running

Here's my Brothers PC with the same issue! Two completely different systems, but both GSYNC

I'm on the latest hotfix, here's what I get from autoruns:
Have you tried Procmon yet?
Wrong software man
Use Procmon which gives you an up to date listing of processes polled
Never tried that. Let me download, how do I get Nvidia info from it ?
Load it up
Click Edit : Clear Display
Scroll down for dwm.exe, if nothing use Clear Display again sometimes it takes a couple of event clears before it floods the window again!
I just did a Process Activity Summary, it showed there were atleast 21,904 registry events compared to any other Windows process. Which is crazy!
This is what I got when I opened the prog. No idea what I'm looking at xD

Okay I see a ton of that dwm.exe after following your instructions and scrolling way down. I have no idea what this means, will this slow down my PC?
Most don't notice it, however it can use up to 5% CPU time even in games which it shouldn't be doing! It uses more cpu time than playing a game with spotify or browsers open in the background
.Not a problem pre 5x drivers

That's mad, yeah I thought Nvslimmer avoided this type of thing with Nvidia drivers. Is the only way to fix to roll back then ? Ugh xD

Click on "Tools" and then "Process Activity Summary" and find "Registry Events", and click on the title to get ascending order.
Bloody hell, I looked at it a few minutes ago, dwm.exe was showing 299000 events, now it's showing 499000!
I reckon Nvidia is mining on my GPU!

Haha
Actually wouldn't surprise me if Nvidia did this
Apparently! 472.12 doesn't suffer this it seems
Oh wow that's a hell of a roll back, I doubt I'll bother then. Curse you Nvidia
