Low GPU usage (30-50%)

[RisQ]

CPU: Ryzen 9 5900x
GPU: RTX 3080 ti
RAM: 32GB DDR4

I'm getting a pretty low GPU usage in CS2.
While playing DM, my GPU usage is stuck to 30-50%.
Same thing with the CPU.

Is there any fix to push the GPU usage?

If you get stable let's say, like 400 fps why would you want your components to work harder and produce more heat?

make settings higher and resolution, GPU will work harder but you might get lower fps...

That's the problem, the game doesn't feel smooth really. I feel like something is holding the cpu/gpu back

Not until valve drop optimisation updates

Just to put it in perspective, I get stable 300 fps @ 1080p in every map and in every situation on i7 13700K, 3070 Ti and 32GB DDR5 so you should be getting around the same solid 300 fps or even more.

If your fps is way lower then something is definitely holding your system back.

what resolution are you playing at ?? 1440 on my 10850k oc X 3090 are about the same, low temps and usage but my card is undervolted to 1825Mhz at 825mV

[Nutsnut]

What resolution and in game settings? I'm at 1440p high and my 5950x keeps my GPU (3090) at 99-100 utilised.

It literally could run any more optimised, for once Counter strike isn't being hindered by single core CPU performance.

you can try going into nvidia control panel and setting enhanced AA to 4x or even 8x like me and demand more gpu usage though that enhanced AA, your game will look very crisp with that settings but expect more heat, noise , etc. Cs2 isnt to demanding on this level of hardware so id say its normal. if you want to boost fps you can overclock your card and demand more power and up the clock speed for potential fps increases idek bro

My evga 3090 ftw3 is like 60-70%, NVCP Enhanced AA4x and get around 600fps in cs2, High shadows, Med Textures, High shader, Low particle, No Ambient, No res scaling.

Check your windows power settings/mode. I was on power save mode, switched to performance and get 4 times the fps now!

The game produces a frame, and the cpu processes it and then sends it to the gpu to display the image; this is the basis; the game cannot use the cpu to the maximum, because it tries to divide the frame, but cannot, for multi-threading, but uses only 4 (less often 6) cpu cores; the remaining cores are idle; For such a gpu there is no problem to display them, so it too is idle; you can try increasing the resolution, it shouldn't reduce fps (Google Translate)

Same problem here!. I've got the ryzen 5 5600X, rtx 4060 and 16 GB of RAM at 3600 MHZ and normally i get 300+ fps. However, when there is action like a gunfight or rush o utility depending on the map i get huge fps drops to 120 and with a 240hz monitor it's really bad to aim. Usage of CPU and GPU is always between 30-40%. I have installed previous nvidia drivers and nothing. Same issue. The PC is optimised for gaming.

6c/12t CPU and using only 40%, my GPU is using max 50%, too many frame drops, 120fps avg and 200 fps max, fix this game valve.
