The Epic Games Store could be draining your gaming laptop's battery life
https://tinyurl.com/ajx5xp
Folks who game on laptops are eternally battling for battery life, even if
gaming laptops have gotten much better in the last few years. Laptop gaming
means doing everything humanly possible to eke out as much life from your
system as possible. Bad news for Fortnite players: it turns out that the Epic
Games Store might be draining more juice from your laptop than you'd think.
This comes from PCW's testing of the Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ with the new
11th gen Tiger Lake processors inside. After receiving some inconsistent
results on their battery tests, they discovered that the Epic Games Store app
still running hidden in the taskbar was having a drastic effect on the
tablet's battery life.
PCWorld breaks down their whole testing methodology in the article, but they
ran a battery test in airplane mode on two systems and measured the battery
life with EGS on and off, signed in and running, signed off and running, etc.
to see what kind of impact Epic's platform has on PC.
They found an average drop in battery life by 20 percent (nearly two hours)
on the Pro 7+, and an eight percent drop on the Ryzen-powered Microsoft
Surface Laptop 3. All open applications consume a bit of battery, but it was
surprising to see how much the Epic Game Store was guilty of using.
The same tests were run with the Steam app running in the background and
little to no effect on battery life. Epic responded to PC World's findings by
saying via email that "in general, we are actively working to improve the
performance and reduce the power consumption of our launcher."
The more severe battery drain looks to be an issue with the new Tiger Lake
system or Surface Pro tablets in general. But as shown with the Ryzen system,
the Epic launcher can still affect performance even on non-Tiger Lake
systems, even just running in the background.
So, what can you do in the meantime to make sure you're getting the maximum
battery life on your laptop? Ensure that the Epic Games Store—and, really,
any other apps you're not using—aren't running in the background. Always
check the system tray.

其實就是測試發現，Epic Game的客戶端會增加筆電電池耗電。
Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ 增加20%
Ryzen-powered Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 增加 8%
用Steam客戶端做對照組做同樣的測試，發現Steam客戶端幾乎不增加耗電。

如果筆電一直插著充電應該沒影響

好耶

這還好吧

嗯？這是怎麼做到的啊==

不意外阿 就一直想推播廣告阿...

程式寫太爛、要花更多能源去跑？

嘻嘻 這平台何時要島

我的origin也會莫名其妙佔10% cpu

比那個更重要的是：你不知道他在背景搞什麼東東在耗電

你要不要領免費遊戲嘛？ 要就別抱怨

一直跑一些額外功能就行了

在挖礦吧？哈哈

[震驚] 筆電開機狀態居然會消耗電池壽命

背景不知道在幹啥

就單純程式寫的爛吧，如果真要做壞事應該會寫好一點才不會被

batter life 指的是電池續航力battery*

笑死

免費的最__

沒有評論、社交功能 噴的電還比 Steam 兇?

epic啟動器超吃cpu不是一段時間了 還沒修喔

開啟Epic一分鐘，會耗損60秒的電池壽命

應該是怕你RAM太無聊

這種說法有點欲加之罪了吧...

又要開戰了嗎?

R星都能寫爛code了 epic games寫爛code又怎麼了

阿就程式寫不好而已，其他的也不見得寫很好

騰訊日常

而且說增加耗電，標題卻說減少壽命，這意思差多了

那我筆電都不開機 就不會損耗壽命了吧

不對，會自然耗損到沒電，然後更傷電池

新聞標題不意外

功能少這麼多還可以這麼爛?!

玩遊戲也是增加耗電，最好不要玩

戰完遊戲平台，換戰瀏覽器好了

承認背景在偷幹壞事很難?

我的筆電已經換了三次電池了,直接放棄電池純插電

鋰電池本來就用越多壽命損耗越快 要這麼說不是不行啦

背景佔用CPU，程式寫的不好

一直很納悶chrome 動不動吃CPU到三四十%是怎麼吃的...

金山 360 等等……全部掛後台的感覺 開機cpu先燒兩分鐘

我的chrome之前吃CPU吃到60%，換成Edge好超多

之前有在筆電裝過 Epic預設會用獨顯跑

剛看到中國那的討論說裝中國的程式像QQ也會增加耗電所以中國人覺得沒什麼 XD

開的網頁數一樣多，下載檔案數也一樣才10%~20%

CPU消耗高也可能是因為多線程優化作得比較好 我是說可能

應該說背景吃效能/記憶這種破事 WIN10已經少很多了

這標題超刻意，怎麼不去講chrome還比友牌多耗50%以上

因為Chrome很多人用，風向不對= =

現在就沒啥人定期在清除暫存了..都等炸掉

我認識的人都在用IE，誰在用chrome

大概是因為這裡是c恰吧

不EY

這篇在談遊戲平台的比對 怎會扯Chrome來護航...XD

笑死 硬要扯chrome出來幹嘛 epic games是瀏覽器膩

所以還能被抓出來罵 就知道多爛XD

先問你Epic客戶端跟chrome能做到一樣的事嗎

Epic可以下載別的瀏覽器嗎

背景挖礦？還是回傳資料？

chrome很吃資源是早就知道的事情了吧 但為什麼那麼多人用 不就是因為功能多如果你EPIC做的比steam功能多又穩 那誰會在意你耗資源

Epic可以下載別的遊戲平台的個資= =

就是Epic功能比Steam少很多又更吃資源才讓人在意呀大家會想功能少那麼多為啥要多吃那麼多資源

GC從以前就是把資源吃好吃滿

EPIC還有他們的引擎商店 那個超卡= =

STEAM改版很多次 最有感還是把商店切開之後

寫得太爛吧 steam也改進十幾年了

現在開STEAM 除非你手賤去點商店 不然順得很XD收藏庫上千也是順順順

偷資料耗點電力合情合理吧

傳資料很辛苦的

就單純程式寫太爛吧 uplay origin battle.net 也都經歷過吃資源的時代啊 啊不過battle.net是無法背景執行

EPIC就是爛，沒啥好說的

新聞描述似乎是背景狀態也在消耗,如果是這個描述那就有趣所以不是寫的爛不爛的問題,是在背景有啥功能需要運作

就這是客戶端程式寫的爛吧，daemon沒搞好，本來就會吃額外系統資源，看看那個UI跟操作...恩不意外就是了

在偷挖？ XD

反正epic都是免費仔在用

garena也會呢

偷個資都沒在怕了，區區的耗電是能嚇到誰?

偷挖個資就知道EPIC是一個有問題的平台了

如果照很早之前的推測 應該是內嵌了Chromium 這東西天生會在背景吃資源吧 GC只要開了什麼是都不做也會

中國垃圾軟體啊

epic根本小菜一碟 garena才是真的厲害
