low gpu load help

[luca]

anyone have gpu load 0% while playing???? as you can see from the image in MSI afterburn the temperature are pretty cool, even the cpu.
btw for now I adjusted few things I searched here and online like modify vsync from desktop and disable it ingame, turn off rayuselesstracing. I disabled the... protection don't remember the name and disabled DLSS ingame. Latency mode ultra in desktop and ingame +boost.
Now I'm trying to play with High-medium settings, 60 fps cap, 1080p. For now in the castle is good, need to test in open world.
Thanks for any help about the gpu load.. maybe we just need to wait for drivers don't know... never happened something like this.

Edit: it seems 7gb of 8 are used outside the castle so is ok, temperature are like 50° so is... ok I guess. But still 0% load usage, I'm thinking about some visual bug, but don't know.

The game has very high RAM usage for me and very low GPU usage. Lowering some settings decreased my RAM usage, but I still have 0-5% GPU usage most of the time.

The game still works for me, some stuttering in some cutscenes, but the very low GPU usage is very strange indeed. Would be nice if someone knows what we can do/how to fix it so I can possibly play with higher settings

Don't know if normal but alt tabbing and opening the browser made my pc crash and restarting, I noticed I didn't install the latest driver so I will retry. Temps were perfect, maybe I need to check other temps but cpu,gpu were fine. Definitely is in their end the issue, never happened.

My game havn't crashed (yet), even with alt tabbing. Just a lot of stuttering after hogsmede. Temps seems fine too, gonna check them with HWmonitor today, but don't even think my GPU fan is spinning from what I can hear.

I wouldn't waste too much time on it though, there's a patch scheduled for day 1 (which I assume will be released on friday) with the following:

* Fixes to game crashing issues.
* Address the stuttering and lag issues.
* Add gameplay adjustments and optimizations.
* Add general stability fixes.
* Add performance improvements.
* Other minor fixes.

Not sure if I can post links here or not, but just google day 1 hogwarts patch and you'll find info about it on several websites.

For now I will just keep my settings on the lower side and wait for the patch on friday.

30% CPU/GPU usage here, so it’s not a power issue, it’s just needing a few patches.

I could inflate the usage by removing my 75 fps cap, but running through the castle and hitting a 40-50 fps drop isn’t how I want to play it

~95% gpu usage in openhardwaremonitor, ~5% in task manager etc
try different monitoring program

I have MSI afterburn for gpu or hwmonitor for both gpu and cpu. Or HWiNFO. for now I used msi afterburn and hwinfo, will check with hwmonitor too.

My GPU has 20% usage no matter on ultra settings or low settings. CPU is also 15-20%
The game is playable but the day 1 patch should address this issue.

Same 40-50% Gpu load and 50 - 60 fs on low or ultra and outside 40 fps 6800 Nitro+

Having the same issue. I'm seeing about 50-60% gpu usage, and maybe 15% cpu usage out in the world.
Seeing between 40 and 60 fps out in the world no matter the graphics settings. Haven't checked ram but I have a 3090 and 32 gigs of system memory so that shouldn't be an issue. I'm monitoring it using nvidia's overlay.
All settings are maxed out. I tried turning raytracing to low and there was no difference in gpu usage.

I have noticed when I open the book in the escape menu it cranks up to 65% usage and I get blasted with frames, around 200+. So I think the issue may be an optimization thing? Not entirely sure at this point.

[luca]

ye there is a big optimization problem here... hope for day1 patch tomorrow...

It seems that the developers have left it on a console preset, as because consoles not meant to pass the 60 fps, hence the developers might have forgot to disable this option which is why most of us experiencing low GPU usage.
This is really frustrating and I wish that they will patch it soon.

Idk but this game only utilizes 3 of my 6 cores in my cpu for some weird reason.

[luca]

for now I'm playing in medium settings, few times I can see low fps but with my specs I want high-ultra settings xD

pre-ordered the game, have been playing early. at first it was fine but like many, once i got to hogwarts the game was unplayable. after researching extensively here's a few things that got the game going for me. credit: twistdvoxel.com

system settings:

-disabling windows app correction scaling: windows key+I, system > display > advanced scaling settings> turn app off
-disabled v-sync in game and turned it on in nvidia control panel
-set to performance priority in nvidia control panel

in game settings:

resolution: max resolution of display (1440p for me)
rendering resolution of your display screen
upscale type: DLSS
upscale mode: DLSS performance
vsync: off on a VRR/G-sync supported display, on otherwise
frame rate: as per the native refresh rate of your display (uncapped if on VRR/g-sync display)

global quality preset: custom
effects quality: medium
material quality: high
fog quality: high
sky quality: high
foliage quality: high
post process quality: high
shadow quality: medium
texture quality: high
view distance quality: medium
population quality: medium
ray tracing : off

day 1 patch out for me. showing 60% + cpu usage and gpu usage as low as 38% but never above 60% too often. seems the patch didn't do much. tried adjusting settings, same place i was before the patch. wondering if nvidia will release a new driver for this game sometime soon?

hope this helps someone else!

Playing 1440p on high with that hardware is too much copium
