GPU usage is too high during hardware transcoding

[nyanmisaka]

For NVIDIA, all video processing filters are executed on GPU/CUDA, not in fixed-function hardware like Intel's VPP. This means more power consumption and more heat generation compared to Intel iGPU. And higher GPU utilization means there are almost no bottlenecks in the transcoding pipeline, which is good for video transcoding performance.

If you don't want fan speed fluctuations due to transcoding pauses and continues, you can disable the "throttle transcoding" option in "Dashboard->Playback".
