GPU usage and FPS [SOLVED]

[Peewster]

I noticed that after starting the game, my fps is fine (80-100) RTX 2060

But after a few minutes, my fps drops to 30-35 and when I check my GPU utilization it's around 10-12% all the time, temp does not go higher then 70C, this feels a bit off to me.

Anyone else this issue?

So here is what I noticed with my 2070 super.....regardless of what everyone including the maker says about these cards anything over 60 degrees and i get drops.

So I ramp up the fans OC the card a little and cap the framerate to 75 and it sits around 50-55 in MP and even lower in single player....

Now que all the people saying these cards are fine to run @ 70-80 degrees is fine lol

After that the usual suspects dust.....bad thermal paste on your card

The game makes GPUs run hot. You're GPU is probably throttling due to hitting the therm cap.

Where ever I read, it seems like 70 - 85C is normal for GPUs, GPU gets around 80 while playing other games as well, no issues.

The clocks would get lower and thus GPU usage % would get higher to sustain the framerate.
But 70°C isn't the throttling temp. on RTX2060.

Your GPU is not the only thing in your system to monitor.

Probably some crap software installed like armoury crate or aorus engine. Wipe and reload, install just the driver from nvidia website and see. FPS really shouldn't be hitting the 30's on a 2060.

This was an issue I had to deal with. Saying 80 is normal isn’t correct. It’s more correct to say it’s below the maximum. If something is at the top end of its range (top end being 82-85). Then any variation can put it past the top end. This would result in throttling. Because the stimulus to throttle is variable you’ll get frame jumps up and down periodically as you move through the game.

This could also be caused by a poor quality psu that delivers voltage in unreliable ways.

So all that to say…yes 70-80 is tolerable it’s hardly normal. I play many different games….not one of them comes close to 80 degrees except SCUM. My guess is that has to do with not being optimized yet but the phenomena is unmistakable.

Sorry, I don't have any issues. I use AMD

Hey there OP, can you please tell us your CPU as well? What is used on your CPU? From what you are saying here it seems like you have a CPU bottleneck that doesn't allow GPU to run at full power.

i own a rtx 2060 super and i could not tell you what fps i have because the option to show it isn`t on, gameplay matters more than graphics if it looks good and i can play it i`m usually happy, but i grew up watching vhs video`s at 24fps so anything above that is ok with me.

how much ram?

you should be having zero isssues, but it is early access

Honestly, this doesn't sound like a game issue to me, his GPU is not utilized as it should be, if you have a CPU that can handle the game and feed data to GPU to process, GPU utilization should be 100% if there are no bottlenecks.

It's a bit weird that with other games the cpu util does go up, I will check again today, check some more games and how they use the GPU.

I will say that one time scum and even battlefiled 1 were running really bad for me but I did a full reinstall of windows and it did fix the issue for me even in the big city scum runs at very acceptable frames for whats being on screen which is around 60-100fps for me with the same specs about
