This setup is typical for a fresh Windows installation. The GPU usage should match what you expect based on its power consumption, and having minimal background processes at startup helps maintain stability. Your 7900XT using less power than the APU aligns with normal behavior.

The 45w rating for the GPU on the 7900X might be quite high, especially considering overall CPU usage. The RAM consumption appears typical for modern Windows systems. Leaving idle memory unused won’t hurt performance since it can free up resources for other applications when needed.

No, that's the APU power draw. The overlay shows it as GPU 2 PWR, usually around 40W, while my main GPU runs between 25-30W. Sometimes the APU jumps to about 60W. As for Windows using 700MB of VRAM, it's not unusual.

What overlay? Can you show a screenshot of hwinfo? 700mb of vram seems within normal from the systems I've used. Probably also a case of if there is free vram might as well use it. Are you having any performance issues?

Adrenaline for the overlay. Regarding HWinfo... I’d display it, though that feature is proving hard to manage and I don’t require 90% of the information there. OK, that’s helpful to know. The main performance hiccups are with Cyberpunk, but overall everything else is working fine.

The 45W for the APU seems reasonable. It's really the CPU that matters.

Your processor shows minimal activity while the APU maintains its own throttling mechanism, aside from the CPU alone.

I'm curious about how your software captures this setup—the APU includes both the CPU and GPU, and the APU isn't limited to just the graphics card.

The APU is located within and integrated into the CPU, yet they function independently.

The APU encompasses everything, not just the CPU. The CPU resides within the APU, while the GPU is also part of it. Power consumption will cover both the CPU and GPU along with the Memory Controller.
