Not detecting my GPU

[Ajuste]

All the other games are normal, but the witcher 3 simply dont detect my GPU, suggestions?

well, you could start by telling us what gpu you have ... as well as the rest of your system specs.

Could you explain what you mean by 'not detecting' your GPU? Are you not able to access certain graphics settings that you were expecting to? Or were you looking for Witcher 3 to auto-detect graphics settings based on your GPU... if that's the case, I don't believe Witcher 3 does this, you need to experiment and adjust the settings yourself.

I mean that my game is just runing in RAM, and not using the GPU

please click on steam help then system information then copy/paste everything here. perhaps small missing details like desktop or laptop or windows version or linux version might help.

there was an nvidia graphics card driver update on jan 5 528.02
update to latest driver then reboot and see if that fixes things

so you are saying you press alt+r and gpu usage shows zero when in game?
or are you using some other monitoring software besides nvidia?

and in game when you press alt+r to bring up the nvidia performance overlay
what does that say? 0% also?

It is on the print

[cheshirm]

missed it. sry. that says 72% usage I believe

when you alt+tab to look at windows task manager, perhaps the game goes to sleep/swaps out/stops so there is no graphics being drawn

I am running the game currently but alt+tabbed and am seeing the same thing.
windows task manager says 0.1% but nvidia says 42%

[cheshirm]

some other things to try:

edit: click on alt+z to bring up the nvidia overlay then performance then performance overlay advanced then change basic to advanced so that the temperatures/fan speed are displayed. the gpu temp should go up when the game is using the gpu. also the gpu fan speed should go up also

what resolution are you playing at?

I have windows 11 and my pc has the same issues. I read online windows 11 affects the GPU for some reason. I just reset my pc until it works, or pray the next windows update/ nvidia driver update fixes it.
