NZXT CAM says CPU is at 89% GPU is at 1%

[Homunculus In A Flask]

i7 4790k
16 gigs ram
windows 10
EVGA 2070 super XC

DX12
High res pack
1080
everything high except volumetric

NZXT CAM says my CPU is at 89-96% 35-40c temps
NZXT CAM says my GPU is at 1%

runs like butt inbetween 48-55 fps

[FISHNOTHING 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞]

same problem same config as you.

seems like the game is forcing the bottleneck for us, it's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥

[Laughing kookaburra]

how is 1% gpu even possible ?

[DezzyPog]

It's reporting incorrectly for some reason, most likely. I have the same problem. If I use something like Nvidia inspector it shows the correct usage %. But yeah, this has been an issue long before Iceborne was a thing. It's the only game I own that does it too.

Is the game using onboard graphics instead of the gpu?

Try to Turn off dx12

I also get 100% CPU usage and 1-5% GPU usage. I tried all low and high settings. No difference.

Have you tried going into System -> Graphic Settings -> Browse -> Add MHW.exe -> Options -> High Performance?

OK tried restarting everything same settings, CPU useage is 78ish-90% variable
GPU 1% 2% VIA NZXT CAM, Task Manager, EVGA precision.

I disabled DX12 API to go back to DX11 and my CPU usage went to a solid 100% but my GPU same settings went up to 20%-24%

Resident Evil 2 (as in REmake2) had the same issue on launch if I recall, quite a few people complaining their their listed VRAM in the graphics menu was 0.1GB or something, because the game was running off of their CPU rather than the GPU.

Perhaps the same problem has occurred here. Might be worth checking how long it took Capcom to fix the REmake2 issue to get a reliable idea of how long it might take them to fix this one for Monster Hunter. No clue myself, didn't pay much attention to it - but you could probably correlate it from the News / Update posts from the REmake2 page on Steam, etc.

Just did. Still nothing. I'm getting around 100-120 FPS in Astera but CPU usage is still at 100%, GPU at 1-5%.

HAHAHAHHAHA I just booted up Res 2 just because its a good looking game, and I wanted to try to see my GPU % and the same thing happened, Now that you mentioned it, I just remembered both are capcom games.... dang.....

whelp
There's also
[CPU]
RenderingThread=ON
EnableDX12=ON

in Config.ini see if turning these on/off does anything

I apologize for the necro but I wanted to point this out for anyone who stumbles upon this, NZXT Cam is incompatible with DX12, which is where this problem often comes from.

you know what? worthy necro then. you answered the thread no one else could if thats the case.

[Wisedude]

Task manager also reported it at 1% gpu usage.Msi afterburner says otherwise.
