My 1050 Ti is not offering 100% of what it can offer.

My 1050 Ti is not offering 100% of what it can offer.
A day ago I bought this video card to play and work, playing light games like Overwatch and League of Legends it did 60fps with no problem with everything at most.

So that trying to run heavier games I see that when I'm monitoring with MSI after I see that the card is not at 100% of use, however, it drops from 60 to 45 fps even with V-sync turned off.

This is driving me crazy because it doesn’t crash at 60 but it’s not 100% what can that be?

I already checked my processor it is not at 100% all the drivers are the newest I don't know what it is.

The games I tried to play were Fallout 4 and AC Unity (My processor is FX 8300)

Not sure about the less than 100% issue, but 60 FPS for a 1050Ti seems like a heavy lift, unless you have all your settings set pretty low. There are a number of things you can tweak that will impact FPS, resolution is probably the most significant.

I use 1060 but not without fps drop if I turn everything ultra/max but weapon debris. If the game plays smoothly you don't need to worry, fps is just a number if your eye can accept.

Did you accidently buy one of the $50 counterfeit 1050Ti's that are flooding the market?

Worse I didn't buy it at Kabum and I made sure I was in agreement with the original. My problem is that I want to know why she can't do 60 fps if she is not at 100% usage?

A 1050 ti will not do 60 fps with Fallout 4 in all places. The worse will be mid 30s in downtown Boston, in sparse areas you will get 60

[Slippy.]

I have a trick for you, Im currently playing with a 1050ti and I im rocking it with everything on high and smooth as hell, before you launch the game make sure you have "window mode" and "borderless" ticked. This will help I promise

This is about right, my old GTX 770 was 30fps in several spots with a mix of medium/high settings back when I got this game.

its the same performance as a 1050ti

The 1050ti has 2 forms, one needs dedicated power from the PSU

The other lifts off from the power supplied through the motherboard.

The latter has less performance to give if the motherboard is a bit older so it can't give the graphics card that punch it would need in terms of power, thus a bottleneck occurs

The cpu and gpu both determine fps. A gpu won't do 100% unless the cpu is good enough.

Your cpu is probably not good enough for AC games.
Few gpus hit 100% usage on FO4 due to the way that the game engine works.

If you want to see what your pc is doing, download msi afterburner and set it up to show all cpu threads and the gpu loads. (how to vids on youtube).

Lowering graphics settings might improve % usage.

this is a cpu intensive game and that cpu went out with the dinosaurs

That processor is more than capable of choking on Fallout 4, sometimes leaving the card nowhere near full usage. For all its 8 "cores", that 8300 was slower than an intel i3 6100 dual core.

A pretty good video to understand how an FX series CPU can just bottleneck a system without showing anywhere near max levels of stress:

He shows you several times how the CPU is at like 60% yet bottlenecking the RX570 pretty hard. You also made no mention of what kind of resolution you play at, the lower it is, the more CPU dependent its going to be, the worse the 1050ti is going to perform.

All games are configured on High in Full HD my supreme doubt is why the 1050ti cannot do 60 fps if it is not at 100% usage?

is it possible not to be able to do 60 fps unless the card is not at 100% usage?

2 Very easy tweaks steps for FO4 where you dont need to dive into the deeps of the game data or modding area and that helped me to get the game smoother with my 1070GTX TI SLI in 4K, so its not a far guess it will help all nvidia cards:

1:
Set Antialiasing and all this stuff you can set in the basic grafic option screen of the game to off, also dont enable Weapon Debris, that Alpha state implemented option is a grafic power sinkhole. than force your Nvidia Grafic Driver to do the options you set to off in the games grafic options like you want for the game (if you use nvivia experiance btw this wont help you, because that piece of programming BS means doom to many games grafic options and performance... ) also activate VSync for this game in your Grafic Driver. the point in doing all this is that the grafic driver integrated option does a better job for the game than the version the game engine itself delivers it looks like.

2:
after you set this first 2 things from step 1 go into your Fallout4prefs.ini and seek iPresentInterval=1 (its the game intern version of framecapping/vsync) , set the value to 0 instead and save the file. important: dont open the grafic option for the game after this or the value will go back to 1 at once.
