[Example code here](https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/3d-mq5msh?filpage.tsx%3A4%2C24)-In this example, GPU usage is excessively high. I want to reduce it. I attempted to handle it, but I haven’t found a solution. Any suggestion for optimizing GPU usage?

How do you determine that? There seems to be no stats / measurement tools within the project that’d show the GPU usage.

I have found out using the windows Task Manager that as soon as I open the [example code here](https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/3d-mq5msh?file=%2Fapp%2Fpage.tsx%3A6%2C1) tab,GPU usage increases from 0 to over the 90%

How does your GPU react to opening any of the [official examples](https://threejs.org/examples/?q=perform#webgl_shadowmap_performance) ?

As for your code - everything looks ok, besides the fact that you put `<EffectComposer>` somewhere in the middle of the scene. It should be the first child of `<Canvas>` and it should wrap around all the other elements in the scene - similarly as canvas does.

Maybe into browser hardware enabled, not gpu
