LOW GPU USAGE ?!

[Mihai_89]

OK so i was looking at my GPU usage in the game and it's like only hitting 65%

Normally this should be a 99%

So right now im getting around 60 FPS sometimes going a bit above and sometimes below on an RTX 4060

The thing is though - i looked up multiple YT videos and the RTX 4060 should be getting around 85 FPS.

Has anyone had this happen ?

5090 and 9800x3d fps drops when getting past the big gate in Seattle. GPU Usage is chilling at 50% and cpu like 30%

Possible CPU bottleneck. What is your CPU usage at and what CPU do you have?

It's not CPU bottleneck - RYZEN 5 3600 and i also measured the CPU usage.

What GPU driver are you using ?

I'm on nvidia 572.42 and most videos i've seen are on 572.83 but i heard that one gives black screens and even OS slow-downs.

This is a joke right? A 3600 would bottleneck the ♥♥♥♥ outta a 4080 ♥♥♥♥♥.

CPU bottleneck, OP has no clue how single core perf works and thinks less than 100% CPU usage is what makes it not a CPU bottleneck.

A bottleneck on my 14600K would have about 35% usage as it has 20 threads LOL.

Try installing the 566.36 drivers from december.

All drivers that they released after this ones had a lot of problems of performance and stability on rtx 3000 and 4000 cards.

Driver issues from Nvidia? *shock* no way!

Just reducing the graphic and see whether the CPU can push more frames. If not, it is CPU bottleneck.

Most games just not able to utilize even 50% CPU all core but still CPU bottleneck as it depends on how CPU is used. It is overhead of multi thread and no. of core limitation.

Disable Reflex will help on CPU if it is not fast enough.

Depends on OP's motherboard as most 3600 build has PCIE 3.0 only, it run on PCIE 3.0 x 8 for 4060 which may cause another performance degrade to GPU.

Yeah, it looks like they are using their beloved IA to make the drivers. Not even one good driver for a long time

Motherboard won't do ♥♥♥♥ if the CPU isn't capable. PCIE1-5 doesn't make a difference if your GPU is waiting on your CPU to finish its job. Not to mention like the previous poster pointed out CPU's have threads/cores. Just because a CPU doesn't report 100% usage doesn't mean the game isn't getting all it can out of it.

I agree CPU still bottleneck even not 100%. I see most game just not able to use >50% of all core but still CPU bottleneck.

Regarding PCIE, 4060 is special case only has 8 lanes. If you run it in PCIE 3.0, it will be just PCIE3.0x8 and just PCIE2.0 throughput. This can cause 10% degrade in some games.

Same spec, same issue. 50% usage no matter what setting I use. Native or DLSS it's stuck at 50% in the first open area. This is on 4K monitor.

There is no way nvidia is having driver issues they're flawless in that regard. Isn't that the general consensus?

Did you read what i added to the bottom of my previous post? Look at your Bios setting, if you post what Motherboard you have we can help you more.

Its not the CPU or the Card like you said, because my old rig runs this game fine.
R7 3700X, RX6700XT, 16GB, X570, 2x M.2, Win 10, 1080p @60Hz monitor with everything maxed out, no upscaling, no framegen with FSR Native AA and Vsync, constandly 60FPS stable.

I solved it by disabling nvidia reflex.

I'm not gonna go mess with the BIOS though either way, because it's generally recommended to never do that unless the user knows what he's doing.

If it's running good on your setup though that's cool to hear.

Its not that hard especialy if someone tells you exactly what to change, and if you mess something up just Reset the Bios...

Enabling the Memory stuff can increase gaming performance by 20%, and like i said, in some new games its in the Minimum System requirment (for example AC Shadows it says ReBAR) to set the Resizable BAR option, to do this you need to set Enable Above 4G Encoding and than you can turn on Resizable BAR.

Higly recomend set XMP/EXPO memory profile also, High Frequency Suport to Auto and System Memory Multiplier.

You wont be able to run that normal if you dont set it, on the latest generation high end motherboard chipsets from Intel and AMD its all Enabled by Delfault, but not on a AM4 motherboard.
If you dont set it your Memory wont be able to keep up with the most Memory/VRAM demanding games.

Ive just seen theres a new Bios update for my X570 motherboard, so gonna do that now, its a Security Update again.

The low GPU usage seems to be a game bug, it happened to me few times and the only solution I found was resetting all the settings on the launcher and launching the game with defaults settings, then inside the game you will see 99% usage all the time and you can change the settings as you wish, even in the big city I am getting 99% GPU usage. My pc specs are 5800x3d, 32gb ram ddr4 and 4070ti. I hope it works for you.

I get the same thing. It uses about 1% GPU and 58% CPU at max. I have a 4070ti and the i7-13700F

Exactly the same for me
