When the Handbrake queue is open, Windows Task Manager reports really high GPU usage - around 20% of the GPU for "3D".
If you close / minimize the queue window, GPU 3D usage goes down. But that's not helpful when you're actually trying to manage the queue.
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
Launch the Windows Task Manager. Select the Performance tab. Select the GPU.
Open the queue window while encoding - GPU 3D usage goes up to ~20%.
Close or minimize the queue window - GPU 3D usage goes down to ~5-7%
Handbrake could be a little more resource-friendly.
HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.3.3
Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Windows 10 20H2
