Gpu usage drops while gaming
My gpu usage drops from 98-60-70% usage while gaming and my cpu usage is about 60% and it causes really horrible stutters. Temps are not too hot either. I’m not sure why that is or how it happens. I have a 3070ti and i9 13th gen

usual because your FPS is too big for your screen, or struggling, so let say 144hz, when it dips to 130 it will have lil bit hiccup stutter
maybe Gsynch would help
or the game is just bad optimized

cpu throttling, drivers or background tasks

post a cpuz validation link
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
cpuz -> validate button -> submit button
it will open a browser, copy the url (address) and paste it here

you cannot tell by cpu usage alone, games really depend on single core performance, if the cpu has more threads than the game can use it will never get near 100%

Hmm, IDK what do you mean stutter here? Or lag?
Was it came from game itself like those scenes or situation in-game cause that? You got GTAV their benchmark pretty good, you could benchmark then compare to situation you called "stutter" in-game for example. Easy to notice from my opinion.
Or something tell me what was setting of each game in-game?

stuttering is uneven frame pacing
gsync/freesync will depend on if the display supports it

sry man iam not english speaker as you can see i mean his GPU cant handle 144hz lets assume

the gpu is not holding 90+% something is holding it back

its not the gpus fault unless its throttling, or the displays fault

vsync could be limiting its usage, as that would put it to idle when done while waiting to send a completed frame to the display
but that would not cause stuttering

Cap the FPS or increase the screen res.

There’s nothing in particular causing it from my knowledge. It will randomly spike my cpu usage and drop my gpu usage. It happens in most games I play. Another comment mentioned g synch, which I also have enabled. Playing at like 170fps and then drops to 60-70 is a crazy jump. I’ve never had this issue before tho

Screen res is 1440p and fps is capped at 237

I’ve also tried upping my in game settings and even lowering them so much I can see more clearly without glasses lol. Yet the same issue. Vsync is also turned off

My monitor is 240hz. In game I get about 170fps. Most other games around 200 mark
