How do You Fix GPU Low Usage?

[Raging Amy]

Nothing seem to work I tried the high performance setting put it's still at 30 to 25 FPS I don't have the best card but I'm sure it's not that bad though
Please help?

IIRC, I believe FPS is heavily tied to your CPU and not GPU.

DS3 was the same way, would use like 90% of my cpu and like 12% gpu.

never had that issue, do u have max performance in Windows graphic options and nvidia control panel? for me its 50-60% cpu. 100%gpu, although i dialed down the resolution a bit to keep it at 90%

get a better CPU. you just said "4600g" so im not entirely sure weather youre rocking a bottom of the barrel worthless piece of garbage pentium g4600, or a slightly less garbage but still garbage ryzen 4600g. but both are trash and will be a bottleneck on any system.

What the hell is wrong with ryzen 4600g? It's an extremely potent cpu for everything.
Up to 4,2ghz with 6 cpu cores and 12 threads. You are out of your mind, saying it is trash.

To be fair though, I have an old ass i7-6800K. I run it OC'd at 4.4GHz all core and it literally makes the 4600G look like a toy, even though they are both 6c/12t CPUs. Add the fact that mine is an HEDT and supports quadchannel memory to the mix and it's even worse.

Mostly though, it comes down to Ryzen having originally cheaped out on L3 cache in those budget models. Mine has 15MB of L3. A 4600G has 8MB of L3 and that basically neuters it and makes it about half the chip, more on par with an i7-6700 while mine is closer to an i7-8700K, even though they both run at similar clocks, and even with the 4600G still having a large age and architecture advantage, it's still just an OK chip because it is missing the L3 cache needed for it to be a powerhouse like the 5600X is (largely because of it having 32MB of L3 cache).

Look at how the new upcoming Ryzens with 3D V-cache have just simply added more memory to existing dies and how that alone can enable their new refresh chips to greatly surpass everything up to and including an R9 5950X.

That lightning-fast memory used as L3 makes or breaks a CPU. You have to look a little beyond just clock speeds and even IPC to actually see a CPU's real performance and one of those key factors, just like memory bandwidth in GPUs, is cache amount for CPUs.

Pretty sure it shows the game using like <5-10% of my 1070 Ti...

Yeah, you mean in task manager? It's been wrong forever. Use MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision XOC to monitor.

If you're getting more than 6-10 FPS on a GTX 1070 Ti, then you're realistically not at 10% GPU usage. You'd be getting a slideshow.

[POGGERS!]

Thanks, I figured.

Yea, game used like 80% of CPU and only 10% of GPU
PC port is proken.

lol no wonder u guys get stutters

How are you monitoring your GPU usage though? Like I said above: 10% usage would be absolutely abysmal. You'd ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ know it right away.

Too many people think that Windows Task Manager is accurate. IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT.

It also tells me that my GTX 1080 is only running at 10-15% while I'm getting 50-60 FPS. That is just not even close to being realistic. I'd be lucky to see 20 FPS at 10% usage.

Meanwhile in Afterburner, I see 85-100% usage.

like all ryzens, its stated clock rate is a lie. the "4.2ghz" is actually closer to 2. on top of that, its being used with an nvidia GPU, and all of AMD's CPUs since they purchased ATI, are literally designed to never utilize Nvidia products fully. i personally steer clear of AMD for all uses, but if youre gonna use an AMD cpu, you need to use an AMD gpu to actually utilize it.

i dont feel like playing ds3 anymore, but ill try turning on the GPU scheduling in windows and see if ER uses more of GPU

Ryzen 4600g
Sorry

Low FPS even at low settings usually means you're CPU- or memory-bound, or both, or perhaps even just I/O-bound in cases with laptop CPUs in machines that only have 5200 RPM HDDs or even in desktops with single drive 7200 RPM HDD setups (with both the game install and the OS+pagefile on the same drive, so both fighting for access), I/O bottlenecks can cause a lot of waiting even when the CPU, memory and the GPU are not necessarily the issue. That's why gamers all try to run at least SATA SSDs and enthusiast gamers run NVMe SSDs. HDDs are ancient ♥♥♥♥ that really only work okay if you have one dedicated for OS+pagefile and another for games and even then, they're okay, not even good. A single SSD is better than 3-4 HDDs provisioned for different purposes due to access times.

Why people are saying that the 4600G is "bad" is that it is a 2020 CPU that barely (but does) manage to surpass an i7-6700 (not even an overclockable K model. just a bobo i7-6700 like Dell or HP would use in throwaway non-gaming model PCs) from 2015: https://cpu-benchmark.org/compare/amd-ryzen-5-4600g/intel-core-i7-6700/

It's not a bad CPU, per se, but it's not really that good either. Running in an ideal setup with good SSDs for I/O, it's a reasonable pairing for a 1050 through 1660 Super. You don't really need a 3600/x or 5600/x to run a 1660 series card, especially not at higher res like 1440p. 1080p will probably be the breakpoint where those cards push too much pre-rendering to the CPU and you'll see some unwanted FPS issues and would want a better CPU or a higher res monitor. They just don't have the memory bandwidth or core count to justify pushing into what is considered the "standard" of Ryzen's gaming CPUs that would be needed for say, a GTX 1080/Ti or a 2070S+, where a R5 4600G would be the weakest link.

I see oh and I fixed it well sort of don't laugh but I normal play with low power I raised the power in MSI but It still seems low from what I've from other videos though but it is much better now I'm not sure but Horizon can seventy I figure it could run this game to fairly well

Increase game resolution until your GPU is hitting 90%.

Mines already at 1920x1080 and ER still doesnt use as much GPU as games like God Of War, but uses ALOT more CPU than GoW or other games

Use Custom Resolution, DSR, play at higher resolution if your FPS cannot improve.

I get 60 fps, but its odd that that every souls game ive played seems to heavily rely on CPU rather than a mix of GPU/CPU like alot of other modern games
