On my Windows client, task manager often shows nxplayer.bin GPU at 100% (see pic) and the machine gets very unresponsive. Closing the NoMachine client brings GPU back near 0% and machine responds fine then. This 100% GPU state can happen when the connected NoMachine session is idle. The only change on the display then is the desktop’s tiny clock ticking. Client CPU is approx 20%. This condition does not always occur. Sometimes GPU is only about 60% and the client responds fine then.
client: Win 10 on Lenovo P53s laptop, GPU0 Intel UHD Graphics 620 (maxes out), GPU1 Nvidia Quadro P520 (stays at 0%)
server: CentOS 8 VM w/ICEWM virtual desktop on ESXi. Hardware is HP gen10 server (no GPU) 24 core Xeon. NoMachine 6.12.3_7. Server CPU usage is low.
Why does does the GPU hop up to 100% for long periods?
Can I tell NoMachine to use my laptop’s GPU1 instead? it appears to be just chilling there, waiting for some work.
