GPU Usage Decreased
The game always worked fine, and the other day all of the sudden only uses around 75% gpu usage. Always used +96%. Anyone has the same problem?

Recently got the same problem. Restarting my pc seemed to have fixed but the other day it happened again and nothing worked.

Restarting my pc doesnt fix anything. Its only this game that doesnt scale in terms of GPU usage.

I haven't noticed any issues with performance on my gtx 1060 but I will check gpu usage and get back to you.

Ryzen 1600x 3.9 GHz overclocked

try turning on hardware accelerated gpu scheduling. go to system, display, scroll down to graphics settings, click, turn on the option. It lets your gpu decide what to do with its vram. I had the same problem with my gpu load with shadow.

I recently got a new card and was perplexed to see that i was getting 16 fps with a low gpu load, when i turned it on, i got 80-114fps. There may be a conflict with windows update and nvidia.

It's a windows setting, click settings, system, display then graphics options. Turn on hardware accelerated scheduling then restart your pc.

The problem continues. Here is a screenshot showing GPU usage.

First of this is in the game menu. What is the lowest FPS you get in game?

I'm using directx 11 as I can't use fast sync with directx 12. I am not impressed with directx12 as from what I've read it has performance issues in some games.

Doesnt matter if the game is on the menu or in actual gameplay. I know with the same settings always was using around 97% gpu usage and in 2 days without playing, it suddently doesnt use more than 80% gpu usage in any part of the game.

So is your fps lower with the gpu usage drop?

Yes.

Try using directx 11 and see if you get better performance and gpu utilization.
Sollaire Apr 7, 2021 @ 9:56am 
Yes. I get much higher fps now and gpu utilization is now good. Thanks. I didnt know i could use DLSS in DX11.
