Limiting GPU memory usage not working

Under the preferences in Processing I set Max memory % to 10 but my GPU is still used at 100% percent, why is that?

I use RTX 5080

Can you share the app’s logs?

The Max Memory % setting only limits how much of your GPU’s VRAM Video AI can use, not the overall GPU load. Your GPU can still run at 100% while staying under that memory cap. This is mainly to avoid out-of-memory errors or leave room for other apps. Setting it too low can actually slow things down or stop some models from running, so the default is usually best or lowering it to 60-90%.
