Low GPU usage

[Prawns]

I've got a HP Victus 15 - 3050 laptop gpu, i5 12th gen, 8gb ram.

My gpu usage is constantly under 5% while cpu usage is always between 70-90%, I've done everything including ddu clean install of my graphics drivers. I've checked the power settings and more. It's definitely only an issue with this game. its insanely frustrating and idk what to do anymore. Can someone help please?

This isn't a graphically-intensive game. How much GPU are you expecting to be used?

not graphically-intensive game? what do you mean. All shaders are done in GPU. Unreal Engine is the biggest fat shader compiler of all game engines.

Usually on any game I play my GPU is at 90% and temp is 10 degree higher than CPU. But it is reverse in Marvel Rivals.

Dude it is a graphically intensive game, fym??? Also GPU usage should never be this low, something's wrong but I don't know what.

bro my gpu usage never tops 5% in this game and my fps holds solid at 300fps
do have to admit my cpu is screaming for mercy though god its time to upgrade

...wow, you lot think THIS game is demanding graphically?! @_@ Remind me to never introduce you to survival titles.

Anyway, it's probably being throttled by power management given that it's a laptop. I'm using maybe 35% of the GPU but 20% of the CPU on a desktop.

Jut because your power plan says "High Performance" may not mean you're getting full power in every situation. About the only thing I can think of for you here.

But nah, this game's maybe middle of the pack for graphic intensity. Why on earth would anyone make a graphically intensive competitive shooter? Eye candy kills FPS.

So i had this issue with Monster Hunter Wilds, where the game was using my CPU over my GPU. My brother helped me reverse it, had to go through Settings, Find the Game File, Had to Switch it to so the GPU would be used. He said My system was auto running it off my CPU, instead of my GPU. Marval Rivials is GPU and RAM heavy. if you are running a game that pulls from GPU you should be at full usage(98-99%). Some games run off the CPU, But Rivals should be going of GPU and RAM. Having 8GB of RAM(i know its a laptop) is no longer effective, 32GB is the way to go. Same with Graphics Cards, 8GB is not enough, you need at least 16GB to keep up. IMHO you should start saving up for a Mid Tower. FYI Intel has been having Big issues latley, id avoid Intel Cores and Look into AMD products. i know AMD has its issues, yet Intel has just been going down in Quality lately. My bother used to only use Intel, but even he did a swap to AMD Products.

I tried it already, I'm using msi afterburner and it still says that only my integrated graphics is being used while my gpu barely gets used (2%-5%). Thanks for the advice though, still confused and frustrated by this stupid issue.

just gave up and stopped playing the game lol

Im at a similar level of frustration. Running a 4070ti super and the game gives me about 80 FPS in fights on the lowest settings. Ridiculous. Nothing you can do, the game is just a mess.

ok that is genuinely crazy to hear, I'm sorry you gotta put up with this ♥♥♥♥. the game engine is just so unoptimized

Its fine. I just stopped playing and went back to see what stuff they added to Space Marines 2. Running it on the highest settings with no issues. Its beautiful.

Same here, im on a 4080 laptop i can run cyberpunk in 1440p at 144fps on max settings (with dlss) but this pile of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game utilizes 30-50% of both my cpu and gpu for some unknown reason and i get frame drop constantly
