Rust 100% GPU usage on GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop

[Tak3r]

Hey there!
Just got my new ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 with a AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS Processor and GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU and wanted to see how Rust looks with best Graphic settings.

However, when I set everything up on max details, the game runs around 1 minute then goes back into the menu, Win10 Task manager shows 100% GPU usage.

I thought that this high end gaming machine should handle rust full settings, but maybe you can give me a hint on which graphic settings this will most likely cause or a top 5 of them so i can go through them one by one to get the game running?


Cheers,
Chris

EDIT: Just reset the settings and even in standard settings, it is crashing after a few seconds now. I better look out for any updates on drivers and firmware as there seems to be something off.

Sorry to tell you, but 100% GPU usage IS NORMAL, especially with High settings AND in an Unoptimized Game.

If Vsync is disabled, Enable it and go from there.

I even checked WC3 reforged now and cant even get into a game there. My old 3 year laptop had no problems with that, so there must be something wrong uim afraid :(

In unoptimized game? 100% should be in every game meaning the gpu is running at max and you get all the performance out of it..unoptimized games have 60-80% gpu usage.

Is it crashing in other games too?

100% usage is good
the gpu will go to idle state when done drawing frames if using some form of vsync/gsync/rtss

if the laptop is limiting gpu performance, it will still be 100% of the limited clocks

Its not this easy. Try to max out your 3080 on older games. Impossible in many cases without dsr. Its not because they are unoptimized for new hardware. Its about you cpu is not fast enough to feed your gpu. Yes its some kind of unoptimized but..

Wipe out all amd and Nvidia drivers using the ddu app in safe mode. Also enable options in ddu to disable Windows auto driver installer. This stops the auto fetching/install of drivers via Windows Updates. Reboot after done.

Download and install latest from amd.com and nvidia.com for...

AMD Ryzen Chipset Driver

NVIDIA RTX 30 series (Notebook/Mobile)

Reboot as needed after each driver install has completed.

That's not normal, even for RUST. You'd have to be pushing a high res and hz rate to even attempt hitting 100% on a 3080.

No, it really isn't. Shouldn't be able to hit 100% usage even on a 3080 mobile version, when only playing RUST.

That's. Not. How. It. Works.
Every game? So Minecraft should use 100% of a 3080? City of Villains should use 100% of a 3080? Command & Conquer Generals should use 100% of a 3080? That would waste immense amounts of power and contribute literally nothing to those games.

Not everything needs to use 100% of a GPU or CPU, and often that's entirely ok and acceptable. Now, Rendering to a file, you can normally see 100% of a device usage depending on the program.

You three really need to learn how inaccurate those statements are, and why it gives extremely bad information to people which could cause them to make bad choices by your recommendations. Please don't spout random nonsense and hope it sounds legitimate, because it isn't.

Gpu should be always running at 100% unless you hit vsync/fps cap.

Blatantly false and not how it works.
Do try those exact games with a 3080 and feel free to realize that they will never hit 100% with those.

Are you trolling or are you actually under the impression that GPUs should always be 100% with all games? If you're serious you have no idea what you're talking about.

Why do you bring 15-20 years old games to this? Ofc that's a different story, and they won't run at 9001 fps and use full power of 3080..
Generally in modern games you want your gpu to run at 100% to get all the performance, if it's not then you are using vsync/fps cap which is fine or your cpu holds you back or the game is badly optimized/reaching engine limitation.

Probably because you said this:

So you at least are capable of understanding a blanket statement like that is blatantly false now. But you don't use such a blanketing statement and then turn around and admit that those things wont use the gpu to its full power. So if those can't use full power of the GPU, obviously that means things shouldn't use the full power unless either capable of doing such as designed by and for the task, or that the GPU can't process the demand more quickly than its specifications which does not improve performance when hitting 100%; you're at capacity.

Still wrong, the GPU doesn't need to hit 100% to get "all the performance". You generally want to avoid 100% in any scenario that doesn't intentionally use/require 100% such as rendering to a file, live manipulating of large 3D objects, or Mining.

Hitting 100% usually means you're not getting as much as you could, ie a hardware limitation, when hitting such often causes slowdowns or negative performance due to hitting a cap especially if you're using a stock unit which will likely have temperature issues for maintaining 100%. Having more overhead for games is better, it means the card is so powerful/efficient, that it will not hit 100% with the demand given to it.

Have you tried using a Mining GPU for primary display?
Have you tried using a Workstation with 100% CPU for any other task you desire while it's at 100%?
Those two show why 100% is not "all the performance". It would be all in the sense of "as much as it can give at this level", but it does not make it better.

This is RUST we're talking about, you only have 131 Hours, do you even know what the performance is generally like for better GPUs?

That's still Incorrect. Keep trying.
