Computer Specifications: GPU – ZOTAC NVIDIA RTX 3070 CPU – INTEL i5 12400F 16 GB VYPER RAM 2800 MHZ. Hello, I recently purchased a refurbished 3070 from eBay. After installation, my CPU usage spikes significantly during gameplay. Even in titles like Doom Eternal, it stays at 80-100%. In Task Manager, the GPU usage drops to around 60% or lower, with Fortnite being the exception. It remains consistent across other games such as RDR 2 and Cyberpunk 2077. I've searched online for fixes but haven't found a solution yet. I'm new to PC gaming and don’t want to feel like I wasted my money. Could you help ASAP? Thanks in advance! xoxoxoxo
I previously had a GTX 1060 with 6GB of RAM until recently. After installing the new drivers, I think I may have removed the old ones, but I’m unsure. There’s no clear way to confirm if they were still present.
You’d start by gathering the necessary steps and then follow them carefully.
A reliable method to remove outdated drivers is by using a tool named DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller). The instructions in the linked JayzTwoCents video will guide you on proper usage. Leftover driver files that aren't compatible with your current cards may lead to instability, crashes, and performance issues.
