WPF application is using a lot of GPU power

Question

I am developing a WPF App. I have added few controls around 50+ including labels buttons grid panels etc.

But on some Views the GPU power spikes to around 40-50% in the Task Manager.

What could be the issue?

I read this article

But found no conclusion on what control could be causing this.

@PavelAnikhouski I don't think I can put all my GUI code here on this app. — Noob Coder, Feb 18 '20 at 09:59

I found the issue which was causing it. It was the DropShaddowEffect.

When I removed the DropShaddowEffect from the Grids and Borders my GPU went down to 5-6% from 40-50%. I call that a success

I also want to reference this solution from stackoverflow as the search parameters differ when searching for this kind of problem

May I know your GPU model? – Maria Feb 18 '20 at 10:11

Thanks , So my guess was right, your GPU is not strong. – Maria Feb 18 '20 at 15:45
I did try this on an NVidia Graphics card of my client and it produced the same result getting 40-50% – Noob Coder Feb 19 '20 at 07:17
