High GPU usage
Recently I've been experiencing high GPU usage, and I don't know why. I've downloaded the newest drivers, and nothing works. I'll load game, 2-8%, seems nice. Main menu loads. JUMPS STRAIGHT TO 80-90%!!!! I start up my park, 95-100%!!! Please help, I don't know what to do, and this is my favorite game at the moment, and I would hate to lose the ability to play this game.

And no, my temperature is fine and is normal.

Obvious question is what are your graphics card specs?

i am having the same problem i have a ryzen 5 1600 and a nvidea gtx 1050 ti

I don't understand your problem with this? You want high GPU usage, that's normal. GPU utilization should always be hitting 99%.

If you're below 99% utilization, then you're either maxing out FPS so the GPU doesn't need to use all resources available, or you've got a CPU bottleneck.

the problem is its crashing my game. I am not maxing out my fps. no more that 60 fps so either you are talk out of your ass or you don't know what your talking about. I have played alot of other game to see if i can replicate the issue but this is the only game that hits 95 - 100 % of my gpu

Do you know what your temps are?

If you don't know about GPU utilization then you really shouldn't be gaming on PC. Get educated before you comment on somebody not knowing what they're talking about.

Edit: A quick Google will even tell you this, considering you're so quick to state I'm wrong.

Most PC gamers these days buy pre-built rigs. Those of us that still build our own are a dying breed.
ariesdragon Jun 10, 2019 @ 5:26pm 
i have been running alot of test on the other games i play and none of them max out my gpu so if you had read my post properly you would have seen that. But what do i know I know just another moron here. Not Thats the last time i aske for advise here. So Torcqua don't bother replying to my post i dont want to hear it

Make sure VSYNC is enabled either in game or forced via driver settings.

Just had a flash of the old man who "Doesn't want to go on the cart" from Monty Pythons Holy Grail. :LaughingGuest:

I would disagree... building your own is arguably more popular than ever.

To OP: we can't help you if you don't give us at the very least what your CPU and GPU are. No reply in 5 days probably means we won't know...

Hi! I'm sorry for the late reply! I have had this happen and what the problem was is that the game was using the small GPU on my intel i5 instead of my NVIDIA graphics card. I would check the settings for what the game is using for its graphic card. Hope this helps :steamhappy:
