Is it normal for the CPU usage and temps to spike just by switching to one of the laser modes. That’s prior to even starting a scan. Switching back to full field mode and the CPU spike and temperature drop immediately. I have tried turning on and off both GPU Acceleration and Enable GPU accelerated rendering with no changes in CPU usage and temps.
OS: Windows 11 Pro
CPU: 19-14900KS
RAM: 64GB @ 6000
GPU: 4080 Super
Revo Scan 5.6.4 MetroX
Full Field mode do not use GPU acceleration.
It is only used with scanning using Laser mode and nothing else, once you finish scan and click complete , it full switching to CPU processing .
GPU accelerated rendering is used just for rendering the preview of the screen .
All data need to be send to GPU and back , that why you see CPU spikes .
It also use CPU to write down all data to your hard drive .
GPU is used mainly just to capture frames in real time , CPU to write it down . Hybrid combination.
Most important question here is what is your Frame rate using GPU acceleration vs CPU and laser mode.
Yes, I’m getting 60 FPS when in laser mode.
I just thought it was abnormal that the CPU and temperature spikes and stays at 80°-90° C only just by switching to either of the laser modes prior to starting a scan. It would make more sense to me if that would spike during actual laser scanning where all the data was being processed by the CPU and written to the hard drive.
I totally understand, in my workstation with RTX 3090 ti, the CPU jump to 80% when switching to laser mode , but on my new laptop with RTX 4060 only to 12% .
So different behavior on different systems, and I do totally agree with you. It is good you monitor the behavior because I always do as well.
New updated and improved version is on the way.
I will leave a note about your experience to the dev.team
