CPU operates at full capacity while GPU usage stands at 40% on the friends PC.
Hello, Your friend is experiencing performance issues with Dead by Daylight and Team Fortress 2. His CPU stays at full capacity while the GPU usage remains low. He’s running a Lenovo Yoga 710 with a Nvidia GPU, has upgraded RAM to 16GB DDR4 2666 and an M.2 SSD to 1TB. He can play Overwatch without problems, but both games cause high CPU usage. You might want to check for background processes, update drivers, or consider a different GPU if needed.
The device features a dual-core BGA processor, which limits you to avoiding background applications and keeping the CPU from overheating.
He’s seeing around 50% performance with his NVIDIA graphics, while the Steam client webhelper is using 40% of the CPU.
Review the task manager to see which processes are consuming CPU resources, it seems something is heavily using cycles.
