Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing a strange issue with Brave on Ubuntu 26.04, and I’m trying to find out whether this is a browser bug or a website-specific problem.
My system
- OS: Ubuntu 26.04
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 8600G
- GPU: AMD Radeon 760M (integrated)
- Browser: Brave (latest stable version)
The problem
Whenever I open https://build.nvidia.com, my CPU usage becomes extremely high, and my CPU temperature quickly rises to around 80°C.
This only happens on this website. Other websites work normally and do not cause excessive CPU usage or high temperatures.
I also noticed that the browser appears to be rendering the page mostly on the CPU instead of using GPU acceleration.
What I have already checked
- Hardware acceleration is enabled in Brave.
- Graphics acceleration is enabled.
- Vulkan has been tested.
- The issue is reproducible every time I visit the site.
- Other browsers and websites do not show the same behavior.
My questions
- Is this a known issue with Brave?
- Is this caused by the NVIDIA Build website?
- Is there a way to force better GPU acceleration for this type of webpage on Linux?
- Has anyone else experienced high CPU usage on this website?
Any suggestions or debugging steps would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
