    Not an expert but it depends on transcoding settings. Some GPU support encoding formats like av1 while others might not so the processor would have to do that work, hence the heavy usage you have noticed. If you need to use transcoding then check what your GPU supports for encoding but transcoding in general is not preferred if you can avoid it.
