My i7 4790K with 32 GB of RAM, Windows 10 Pro, Boot OS - SSD, Clip Storage on a PCIe M.2 SSD runs at between 35-40% CPU utilization. But when I open the Blue Iris console , it shoots up to the high 90's. What can I do to lower it when the console is running?
How many total cams, what resolution what frame rates?
Are you logging in remotely or viewing on a local monitor?

Dont use vpp...this is explained in the release notes...its only for a few cameras/low total bitrate...
Test it yourself, I would set all cameras to HA...then test with only half, see for yourself...
All 22 cameras are set at Yes - No VPP

I would like to leave the local monitor on but I also have the UI2 installed.

It's my personal workstation, I mostly work from home. I have three 27" HD monitors plus a 49" 4K monitor all connect to it.

i understand that but that could explain why you are not seeing any benefit from HA...you can use gpu-z to see if the intel hd is being used...also if you are displaying blue iris on a 4k monitor it can cause high cpu, at least that what i have seen in some posts, never tested myself..

I can use either the onboard video outputs and video card outputs at the same time. But when I use HandBrake with QuickSync to encode video, it does sometimes crash (with Blue Iris running as a service).

another reason to dedicate a pc to blue iris...build the amd for yourself and use the intel machine for blue iris..

Don't you think an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X with 12/24 cores would run Blue Iris and my video stuff a lot better? I'm talking about 64 GB DDR4 in Quad Channel mode, with OS and Clip all running on separate M.2 nvme drives...

no...I would never run a vms on a home pc...a vms should have a dedicated system....

I want to convert my present setup to an unRAID computer that can run two VMs for gaming (each with vm with a dedicated graphics card) for two of my boys (I have 5 kids).

The way you keep saying 'running a VMS' and 'never run a vms' is leading me to believe that you may not understand what virtualization technology actually is/does. My Ryzen Proxmox host is happily chugging away with several h.265 cameras in a Server 2016 instance, running a freenas instance in another VM, and several Ubuntu 16.04 VMs, all for less than 70 watts at the wall - including a router and switch! Perhaps back in the day, you had a bad experience with virtualization, but please do keep an open mind to new technologies. Times have moved on.
