After using Neural Speech Recognition in DRE, you might experience seeing the its GPU utilization in Task Manager becoming stuck and not moving back down to 0%.
Fear not! DRE isn’t using the GPU, even if appearing to — it’s stuck. Try monitor the real GPU usage with Gpu-Z, HWInfo, MSI Afterburner or nvidia-smi
This is a bad trait of Task Manager and can simply be ignored.
DRE reads the active saved iRacing profile for supported voice requests and optional controller actions, including changes you save during a session.
