50% GPU usage GTX 1080ti on BFV
50% GPU usage GTX 1080ti on BFV
my spec are-
i7 8700 non k
16gb ram single channel
msi gtx 1080ti stock
i play on 1080p 144hz
in BFV on a mix of ultra and low settings i get about 120fps whichs dips to 60-70fps occasionally while massive shit happens
while during all this my gpu usage in afterburner stays around 50-60% never goes beyond that and core clock is 1920 stable with temp 65-68
should i get more fps ?
or low settings are not pushing the card enough
i am also using DX12 with future frame rendering off
in DX11 i get 15-20 fps less all the time compared to DX12
what can i do to get constant fps above 100 or more
Currently, Battlefield V is heavily stressing the processor, with an i7-8700k operating at 80-90% utilization alongside a RTX 2080 Ti experiencing similar load. Adjusting the Nvidia settings – specifically, navigating to Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings and adding Battlefield V – then modifying the Power management mode to “Power maximum performance” will enable the GPU to utilize its full boost capability, potentially increasing frame rates to 90-100% or higher. Furthermore, the RTX 2080 Ti benefits from utilizing DX12 and enabling the Future Frame technology; however, this may not be optimal for all graphics cards.
It's difficult to determine exactly, but your performance appears to be limited by infrequent usage, resulting in a 50-60% average. The reason for these significant drops when “critical events” occur is due to those very events. While the GPU handles most of its demands, particularly in scenarios like a hypothetical situation where all players are instantly killed by an explosion—it would likely severely bottleneck any graphics card and processor because it must calculate the movement of everything: limbs, objects, debris, players, cameras, lighting, smoke, flares, rays, and explosions—all within that single millisecond. This overload overwhelms the CPU and GPU, and after a brief period (around 20 ms), the system resolves the issue; therefore, you won’t typically see frame rates reach 90-100% unless sustained at over half a second. The primary factor is game optimization rather than hardware limitations regarding consistent frame rates. Consequently, single-player scenarios often perform well at higher FPS because the developer anticipates future events and proactively loads necessary data beforehand. Conversely, in multiplayer environments with unpredictable occurrences where performance dips constantly.
Many games do not consistently utilize 100% of the graphics card or central processing unit. This can be caused by poor optimization, limitations within the game itself, or bottlenecks stemming from low settings. Scaling effects are also common.
For instance, with a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti running at 20% utilization, I might achieve 140 frames per second. However, using the same game and configurations with a GeForce GTX 1060, it will still remain at 20% usage and produce only 60 frames per second (these figures are approximate estimates).
Generally, excessive resource consumption is not a primary concern. Even games like Assassin's Creed, which incorporate Denuvo (anti-cheat technology), frequently max out the CPU on even high-end systems, often resulting in poor frame rates.
Currently, Battlefield V is causing your CPU to operate at a high level. Your Intel i7 8700k processor is reaching 80-90% utilization alongside your RTX 2080 Ti graphics card. Attempting to adjust the Nvidia settings by navigating to Manage 3D Settings, selecting Program Settings for Battlefield V, and modifying the Power management mode to "Power maximum performance” should enable the GPU's boost clock and potentially increase frame rates. Furthermore, the RTX 2080 Ti benefits from utilizing DX12 and having the Future Frame option enabled. Results may vary depending on your specific card.
