emby server using 100% of gpu rtx 3090ti

[eeeeeesy 31]

 

 

emby is using 100% of the most top of the line nvidia gpu brand new from sealed box when streaming a single stream. whats going on?

And the corresponding logs?  As the image above does not really tell us anything besides something is decoding and encoding somewhere on that platform and could be from any software.

some more backstory here for you. this may have started today when i recieved my rtx 3090ti. previously i was using my rtx 3060.

after installing my 3090ti i looked in emby settings and saw my accelleration encoders settings were all reset to defaults, since its a new card is what im thinking. so i enabled them all and its still happening its using 100% of my new gpu again. this is without ETV. im only using embys VOD and i prefer GPU rather than cpu.

 

 

ok 1 second ill get the logs

And processes shows it is Emby?  As GPU useage really does not tell us anything.

But all anyone can do is quess right now as there is no information.

i rebooted my pc and now its only using 4% of my gpu. i think thats a more normal number now. but  can you check the logs anyway please?

no i was going by starting and stopping video. when i started the video my gpu  went from 1% to 100% then stopped the video and it went back down to 1%

Please remember that it is the asic chips on the gpus that do video decode and encode.  The 3090 is no better at this than a 10 series card.   You'll note 3D is at zero percent because it does not use any of the capabilities of this very powerful gpu.  Turn off throttling and it will just use what it needs to fill the buffer.. no thorotttling will transcode it ALL as quickly as possible (at 100%) and then just stream it.

Hardware detection needed to see the new hardware, which requires the server to restart.

ok i undertsand now that the encoding and decoding chip is not the same as the powerful 3d chip in the same cards. i didnt know that before. what cards ahave a better video processor chip then? also i have now turned off throttling in emby but i dont see a difference, what should i be looking at now that i disabled throttling? also i thought that nvenc accelleration should be using the 3d part of the gpu, is there no other setting to force it to use the 3d chip?

ok i have now restarted the emby server withe the reset button rather than killing the emby process with my start and stop batch files scripts i wrote and starting it  up again.

You want throttling on .. ie tick the box..

[rbjtech 5284]

The asics in that card should be good for 10-20 4k streams or 30+ 1080p streams - usually gpu memory limited.

[rbjtech 5284]

Throttling on will show the gpu working for a peroid (say 5 seconds) thsn pause for 10 seconds, then do another 5 seconds .. repeat until the end of the movie etc.    Throttle off will hit the gpu at 100% for as long as it takes to transcode the entire movie .. could be a couple of mins or a lot meore if 4k etc.

i think youre wrong. my rtx 3060 barely does a single 4k stream without hdr. it says its running at 100% and freezes. thats why i got the rtx 3090ti which ive been able to run x2 4k hdr streams at the same time so far without freezing.
