Reddit post on this.

Apparently PC Gamer is reporting a 15% CPU usage spike, on top of the throttled buffering.

Louis Rossmann has a video on it, too.

My favorite is THE MOST POWERFUL FLASHLIGHT IN THE WORLD that comes with a warning because it can start fires, but it's actually a normal LED light you can buy anywhere.

Yes that's the one and if you google it you find other websites with people complaining how it's a ripoff.
