GPU usage very low goes to 0.

[Isthatyoudave?]

Just checked the GPU usage while playing at it fluctuates badly and actually sits down at 1 and 0 for a few seconds. This is on my r9 295 x2 which I play this game with crossfire off as having it on provides no extra fps at all. No other game has a gpu usage as bad as this.

It gives spikes up to 100 every now and then but mainly sits down around the 30%. This is running the game on an ssd and on an i7 6700k. Im lost for words how badly this game is performing now still.
Every update I check back to see if there is any progress and there never is.

Every time there is anything loading in the in game missions it freezes and the fps drops way down.

[Isthatyoudave?]

Just to give you an idea how little of the gpu this game is using the temp never goes above 45c.

It will never be fixed in this game because of the ♥♥♥♥♥ game engine their running it off of. Heres hoping arma 4 is on something better than RV4. But even with all it's issues i still like arma 3 more than any other game on the market.

I don't think you understand.. 0% Usage is unnatural even for ArmA 3. Especially the jumps to 100%.

As for the OP i'm unfamiliar with your issue.. But are you sure your PC is not on power saving settings and instead you should turn it into maximum performance.
That's all i have on this for now, sorry. :/

I also have an i7 6700k and my fps is total crap. I can't get over 20 with a r9 390. My gaming laptop with an GTX 770m performed better.

The map altis is also to blame for the lag, i can get 50-60 fps on ultra on the redone chernarus maps on a good server thats well maintained. With about 60 players in it, once the new map tanoa comes out and the new visual renderer is released we should see a huge performance increase.

And yeah idk about that gpu usage i never monitored my gpu use in game but i know it only uses around 30-40% of it.

I don't know if it the latest build of Arma 3 or a combination of Arma 3 and windows 10 but GPU usages on all the amd drivers pre and post Crimson are not working properly. Using crossfire off the one card jumps up and down all the time 0 to 100 sometimes sitting down at 0 for a few seconds even though the screen is not frozen. the fps does drop at these points. I don't think it was as bad as this before.

For a game to have usage fluctuating and dropping to 0 is not normal at all it must have errors in the game code for it to do this. The cpu just isnt feeding the graphics card properly at all. the temp of my card is sitting way down as though it is at idle. the fps isn't that bad in game but it is very choppy and does have huge slow downs.

My system is running great for everything else at the minute so something is now broke in Arma.

Also every time I first run the game i get an error and I have to try again. 100% repeatable.

My power settings are correct I check everytime windows updates just incase it turns back to power saving.

[Isthatyoudave?]

This is not using the development branch either.

[Isthatyoudave?]

Tried a fresh install of the Dev branch and its exactly the same, something has changed in the game and possibly Windows 10 as the same pre Crimson driver never used to perform like this.

[Willywanka75]

It's totally the game. I think one of the updates just messed up the performance for lots of people.

[Isthatyoudave?]

To be honest I think so too, something they have changed or added has got errors. Usually games in early development with optimisation yet to be done has similar effects on gpu usage like this should not be like this in a completed game. Yes the game is cpu dependant but no change of resolution, settings actually changes the performance drops in game. It will go down to the same rates no matter the settings I have tried. a gpu going to 0 to means a broken game simple as that especially when it doesn't do it in other titles.
