CPU 100% and GPU 2%

[RakilolxD]

Hello, I am having the problem of the title of the discussion, I have watched videos and I do not know what to do, on top of that, in the graphic settings it does not let me choose my output adapter, I get the blocked option. I need help I can't play the game, my graphics card is NVIDIA 1660 Super

Seems you were using an integrated GPU. Check your nvidia control panel and set the game to run with 1660s.

StartMenu > type Graphics Settings
Add PlayRDR2.exe and RDR2.exe to that listing and choose NVIDIA GPU.

Then launch Steam, then Rockstar launcher; both via Run As Admin.
Launch RDR2 via Rockstar Launcher. Close out the Steam and Rockstar windows and enjoy. Once in-game, change to UNLOCKED in Settings > Graphics and change API to DX12. Apply change, but do not restart from inside game. Once applied back out to main menu, exit the game. Wait about 1 minute, then relaunch the game.

I have done everything as you have said and nothing, the same thing happens to me, I don't know what else to do, I get GPU 0 - Copy in the task manager, instead of GPU 0 - 3D

Interesting. This means you have no integrated graphics so it doesn't show the option. Also check device manager---display adapters, is there also only one GPU? If so, try updating nvidia driver. If still not working, that's beyond my knowledge.

It was a visual bug that made the percentage of GPU usage not visible, thank you very much for the help and the information <3 Now I have an error that prevents me from saving the graphic configuration, I apply the changes and when I restart the game is all default again, it won't even let me apply full screen :(

Wipe out everything GPU wise with the DDU app in Windoes Safe Mode.

Reboot when all done and download + install 532.03 Game Ready Driver

The same thing happened to me a year later and I just did what you said and it works perfectly. It runs smoothly and with good FPS, I won't update the NVIDIA drivers again. Thank you so much!!

This is about right especially for GTX models and seemingly AMD Radeon.

For the record I am using the Nvidia GTX 1080Ti with the Nvidia Driver Version: 551.86

It's not bad to update them, but sometimes it is best to first wipe out everything for the GPU, then reboot and install the driver version you want to use. Rather then keep updating them at each version stepping via GeForce Experience.

Oh but I concur as the shader cache needs to repopulate itself after the updates but seemingly not updating keeps everything stable more so the issue with GTX are those specific game Raytracing updates which are not needed for GTX so updating is really not in the books for GTX unless you want the new PhysX Driver version but even that can be manually installed but does it work with a younger driver without issue? Idk but most likely yes.

Wipe out GPU shader cache whenever you do the following:

> Swap GPUs
> Change GPU Driver
> Change in-game Graphics settings

No, I always update them, but it is not the first time that happens to me, that I update it and a game goes from going well to going badly, in fact it happened to me with Cyberpunk, it was going at stable 80fps, I updated the NVIDIA drivers from geforce experience and the game did not go above 40fps with the same graphic configuration, I spoke with NVIDIA support and they told me to downgrade the drivers and indeed once I did, the game was working perfectly for me. That's why from now on, since it already works well for me, I don't need to update them.
