The only apps running constantly on my pc is sonnar, radarr, emby, docker, steam

Try disabling all of them and see if it makes a difference.

Trainer GUI runs on Directx so yes it uses some GPU but usually it's literally not noticeably (less than 1%). 40% sounds like a bug, my first thoughts are:

1. Something hijacks into the DirectX drawing process and tries to run an overlay onto it. A very popular candidate is MSI Afterburner but anything else that uses an overlay can cause it as well.
2. A resource isn't free'd up upon use and causes a high GPU load on long run. You can easily verify this if you run the trainer and it isn't using 40% GPU immediately but only after some hours.
3. Unlikely but maybe there is some deeper Microsoft / Graphic card problem that causes such a problem on a specific graphic card with a specific driver.

CH has been around for many years and I've used many of their trainers and never had any issues with them or excessive GPU usage before. Consider in the future being less accusatory and aggressive and you will receive a proper answer to your question faster.

I think something in the fall update borked something with Gsync displays, DX programs, and maybe the nvidia drivers. I've noticed seriously increased usage with programs eating GPU power when they shouldn't have done so. I had to keep the AC Valhala trainer minimized to avoid this. It's like it's trying to apply windowed gsync to the trainer, and flickers itself to death when it can't. It doesn't seem like it's the CH trainers more than something broke in windows last fall.

I figured it might just be me, since most people aren't on the 3090s with 4k120Hz gsync panels, which is niche, and niche usually has issues.

TL;DR seems like windows has issues with nvidia lately.

It could also just be that it was using 40% of the GPU at minimal clock speeds. My 2060Super idles at 300MHz and just typing into this post box is using 7-8% of GPU at that clock. Bringing up Start menu bumps that to 15%, same clock.

In the end, none of CH trainers will cause harm to you or/and your computing hardware...is that clear? 😂

Just played in Total War: Hammer II, with CH trainer.

I am running with the following hardware:
Processor: Ryzen 9 5950x
RAM: Corsair 4x16GB @3200Mhz
MB: ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS (WI-FI) (AM4, ATX)
VC: MSI GeForce RTX 3080 10240Mb VENTUS 3X OC.
HDs: Samsung Evo pro 1TB x2 (m2)

Windows 10 x64 Professional;
Kaspersky IS;

If I just turn off the kaspersky - it doesn't solve the problem at all.

(Just to be clear - I have NO illegal software on my PC, so there's everything is bought)


And guess what? I noticed that after 3-4hrs of gaming, it started to lag a lot... like little freezes. I've opened system monitoring (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) and the CH trainer uses over 98% of GPU.

I'm a CH client for many years enough, to not believe that it is trying to do something bad (mining, virus etc)... but really, what the heck? xD
