hi all,
I've just upgraded from my Intel 6th Gen machine to a 8th gen machine but the processor usage is really high on the new machine 70-80%! I'm using Blue Iris 5.4.7.11 as this is the version I had bought few years ago.
In the BI CPU usage shows around 30% but in the Windows task manager it's 85%+ (Win 11). My new PC also has 16GB of Ram as oppose to 4GB or 8GB from the previous machine.
are there some settings I need to change on the new machine to by better optimised?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Upgrade from Intel 6th Gen to 8th Gen
Re: Upgrade from Intel 6th Gen to 8th Gen
I'm guessing you already know that the new cpu is faster than the old one ? i.e you didn't go for a low power new cpu
Have you set each camera to record direct to disk ? and I find sub-streams save more cpu than using Intel hardware gpu acceleration. I think you have a lot of tweaking to do. Was this a restored configuration, or a new set up ?

I mean new set up but I was going page by page on both machines and was trying to set everything the same.
Re: Upgrade from Intel 6th Gen to 8th Gen
OMG!!!! I didn't have Direct-to-disk setting on on any of the cameras!!!! Ticked the box for all 3 and now the PU usage went down to 7% (I mean as shown on BluIris, windows Task shows more like 30% but still!))).
THANK YOU!!!
THANK YOU!!!
Re: Upgrade from Intel 6th Gen to 8th Gen
Almost sorted. No problem, now go to general settings/ Other, and adjust that "CPU usage factor" until the BI5 CPU level makes sense. Mine is on 6, so don't panic ![Cool 8-)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

Re: Upgrade from Intel 6th Gen to 8th Gen
Hi,
Not sure what I need to do with that CPU factor but at this point the CPU usage, as shown within the BI5 interface, shows as 2%
so I'm not touching anything else ![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
Thank you again for helping with this.

It's just cosmetic. If you want it to match adjust it, otherwise meh!
