Minimal GPU consumption
Minimal GPU consumption
I'm using a pre-built system (Lenovo Legion T5) with an RTX 3060 Ti, Ryzen 7 3700X, 8-core CPU, 16GB HyperX Fury RAM, and a 550W PSU named "Huntkey Jumper HK650-15PP." When I upgraded, I replaced the GPU with the 3060 Ti and the PSU with an ANTEC 750W EARTHWATTS GOLD PRO white model. Most of the time my GPU usage stays under 50%, so it never gets too high. I thought the 8GB RAM might be the issue, but I'm not sure. I've removed all GPU drivers via DDU and installed the official RTX 3060 Ti drivers. This is the exact 3060 Ti I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097YW4FW9?psc...ct_details
Which applications are you utilizing? Have you experimented with a synthetic GPU test?
You're asking about what apps are for, specifically benchmarks. You tested something with M-Series Afterburner's Kombuster and noticed GPU usage reaching 100%, but in games it doesn't perform well or you get low FPS. You also want a clear explanation of synthetic GPU tests.
Turn off V-sync in the game and verify with the Nvidia control panel that you’re not restricting your refresh rate. Adjust your Windows power plan to the highest performance setting. Configure the Nvidia power settings to max. Also, note your CPU usage during gameplay.
