Hey guys,

I recently started using wallpaper engine, and am really enjoying it. However, I have a few questions:

1) As many of the wallpapers contain video or audio components, does this slow down my CPU significantly, causes too much strain on operations? Does it make a difference if I am running them on three monitors?


2) As these wallpapers are considered audio and video components, my monitors do not shut off due to inactivity, or computer doesn't go to sleep. Is there a way to set my computer monitors to turn off the display (as I have is set for 15 minutes currently)? I assume it is because the wallpaper is dynamic (the middle screen has momentum and visual appearance to music)?

Thanks for any input or guidance, and if you guys have any cool wallpapers I can subscribe to, let me know! (i have been having fun with this software!)

It does not render when in use so as long as you spanning ur display when gaming the hit it not noticeable aside from ram.

Now if u play games windowed it may cause a noticeable hit.

Did not know that, ty!

Are you aware of a way to set it so that the display will turn after X amount of minutes afk?
Currently, my comp display will not turn off with these wallpapers running

Control Panel > Power settings > Choose when to turn off the display.
