What hardware is used when editing sliders in Substance painter?

Hi guys,

I know this is a weird question, but when the red loading bar comes across editing sliders, what hardware does it primarily put load on? I'm hearing a weird screeching sound coming from my PC case every time I edit the sliders. I'm thinking I may need to get another GPU if that is the problem.

If you are editing substance parameters, yes it's the GPU working. Although hearing a soft buzzing like sound while you move the slider isn't necessarily sign of a problem. My computer does that too and it doesn't have any issue.

Could be a good indicator to start planning for a new PSU and/or gpu in the near future.
