It's all about the Software

I also use SDR# and this has the ability to turn off either the waterfall or spectrum analyser and an option to turn off both.
I can't see this option in SDR Console.

For those who run SDR Console on a remote PC you don't always need these to be turned on - plus it would reduce CPU usage

You can reduce the resolution down to 1/8th which will help.

I do use that facility as my GPU gets to about 95% - so reducing it lowers it down to <40%.

Was just surprised that there wasn't an option in SDR Console to turn these off as it's something I use all the time with SDR#

Hopefully an easy option to implement

Sorry, isn't going to happen. If your GPU is at 95% it would be interesting to know more about your computer.

Just to clarify I'm not trying to resolve a high GPU usage - I just like to have the ability to turn off the spectrum analyser and / or waterfall.
Because I have my SDR running 24/7 and I only remote access it from time to time (usually for windows updates) it seems a waste to have the spectrum analyser and waterfall constantly running.

Like I say it's a feature I like in SDR# so thought people might like the option in SDR Console. No problem if it's not possible

Please tell me about your system - 96% GPU is very high, I'm sure I can help.

HP Prodesk 400 G3 SFF - i7 6700 - 16GB ram - GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 GPU
Running a RX-888 @ 32mhz

Ah - GT 1030, that explains the high GPU.

Treat yourself to something like the 1650 Super, it'll really help out.

Thanks for the tip Simon. Im restricted by the small form case as it needs a low profile card. But have seen a 1650 low form but it was more expensive than the 1030

Otherwise the i7 6700 works well with the RX-888 No stuttering at 32mhz!

1650 Super will be more expensive - it's a much better card.
