Recently found a problem of high GPU usage when watching videos. I have encounter this on other websites but YouTube is the most prevalent. Currently running is a NVIDIA 4060ti and the percentages I am getting range from a low of 15 to the high of 28. Hoping to gather some information on the topic and would love some explanation. I have already tried with no extensions enabled but had no luck in stopping the issue. Version 132.0.2 (64-bit) on a Windows 10 desktop.

Edge and chrome work fine and use a max of 10%. Just thought I would include.

Is it a RTX GPU? Perhaps because of upscaling? => https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/ai-decoded-rtxvideo-firefox/
