i need help with my gpu 100%

[RLF]

I need help, my gpu ( 1660 super), when I'm on the pc desktop my gpu usage goes to 100% and the temperature goes up, but when I open the task manager everything goes down to normal, I don't want to play with the manager open task, does anyone know what happens?

necesito ayuda, my gpu ( 1660 super), cuando estoy en el escritorio del pc mi uso de la gpu va al 100% y la temperatura sube, pero cuando abro el administrador de tarea se baja todo al normal, no quiero jugar con el administrador de tarea abierto, alguien sabe que pasa?

Probably some malware running cryptomining on your PC.

Download Adwcleaner and scan for viruses.

Malwarebytes is PREFERRED and BETTER

As for whats using the GPU on the desktop, you can use the task manager to see what is using the GPU, 100% on the GPU on the desktop sounds like either a game didnt fully close, or the display driver crashed and didnt recover.

Also, if you have Prefer Max Performance selected in the NVIDIA Control panel that could also be a reason.

That won't cause high utilization. If anything, it could result in the opposite (one chip at 300 MHz and an identical one at 1.5 GHz may reflect different utilization numbers [higher on the former not on the latter] when under the same load but not a load high enough to cause the former to raise its speed), but either way it won't actually be the cause utilization to be higher by having that setting on so. What it does is result in power draw and thermals (and clock speed obviously) being higher but it doesn't actually cause utilization on its own.

OP has another issue. Utilization going down when task manager goes up is strange. That sounds like either OP is using some other monitoring to see high use in real time, and when they check task manager it may be pausing the use? But OP says they see this just at the desktop so it's strange. We'd need more information on what OP is doing and what they are using to monitor it. Steam or a browser with hardware acceleration, or a program with hardware acceleration, could cause raises in utilization (probably shouldn't go to and stay at 100% but depends on what it is I guess).

That or something knows to hide itself if task manager is open? Not sure if I heard of such a thing but I wouldn't be surprised either.

i try malwarebytes and it works so thanks for all, if tomorrow when i turn on the pc and the problem continue i adviced in this forum. thanks

Actually it will if the driver is not initialized/crashed, wouldnt have mentioned it otherwise.
Even in 2D mode with a crashed driver utilization will be high.

Oh, if something crashes all, bets are off I suppose on what could happen. Sorry I missed that if you were referring to that. I was reading your sentence as a stand alone statement that setting prefer maximum performance to on could cause high utilization.

It can cause higher utilization in less demanding tasks depending on the content as the clock speeds will be above normal 2D/Idle clocks, though 100% is unlikely unless due to the above mentioned reasons.


but yeah

I'm not a programmer, so perhaps I'm wrong here, but wouldn't you expect the opposite for precisely the reason you describe?

Think about a CPU at say 200 MHz and an otherwise identical one but at say at 800 MHz. With something equal on both them, but not enough to fully load even the slower one, what would you expect to see? The utilization should be higher, if anything, on the one in a lower clock speed state, no? Although I'm thinking of it in percentages relative to the headroom, but that's sort of what utilization is. In reality, it probably doesn't necessarily strictly work quite like this and as I said I'm not a programmer, but I'm unable to imagine why it'd be higher on the one clocked higher. Perhaps someone who does could explain it.

But yeah, either way that setting isn't the cause of OP's problem. If something is loading it to 100% on the desktop and raising temperatures (but oddly stopping when task manager is brought up, that part would perplex me) then something more serious is amiss.

Might be worth changing any passwords you have saved on your computer too.

hey broos already use malwarebyte and its works excellent, already i resolve my problem so thanks to all people here, its a beautyfull comunity

Glad it was fixed. What was the solution, in your case? I wonder if you had a mining malware.

in my case, for a long time i used 360 security, its a good antivirus but not the best, so i looking for wantimalware on google and in my opinion the malwarebytes was the best option, in my case i had a lot of malwares what 360 securitys and the security of windows cant detect, so that was the problem here, sorry for my english im recently finish my last year of english and i I continue practicing my english
