    Low GPU and CPU usage in games


    Hello, i have been recently playing GTA V and i have observed that the gpu usage goes to only 50-60 ish percent, and the cpu utilization is also almost the same while outdoors, but while going indoors and especially during cutscenes of any sort. The gpu utlization get shot upto around 90 ish percent,But whenever the gpu goes to 90 percentish the gpu clock comes down to around 1850 mhz from the 1950-1990 mhz.

    i have been playing at 1080p ultra settings, as my monitor is 1080p (144hz). But because of the issue on hand my fps have been taking a massive hit.

    The game is installled on an 1tb hdd (7200rpm) as i have 256 gb ssd solely for windows and editing applications and game is rather is pretty huge.

    i have almost tried everything except re-installing windows (i use the latest build of windows 11) with no result.

    i have also tried searching this on the internet before posting this, but i found no fix and post resulting in my situation.

    This issue have been in other games too like metro exodus and spider-man remastered, i havent played any more AAA games yet, but i think its not the games' fault, i think its mostly software related and maybe very unfortunately hard-ware (i maybe wrong)

    also in GTA V when the gpu is at 60 ish percent of utilization the temps got to around 68 degree celsius, while during cutscenes when gpu is close to 90 percent the temps go to 75 degrees, which i think is over the top. (But it could be possible because the place where i live is getting pretty hot nowadays)



    Anyways my pc specs are-

    Ryzen 5 3600 (stock frequency) (coolermaster air cooler)

    Asus Dual Rtx 3060ti OC model

    Msi B550-A-PRO motherboard

    32 Gigabytes of ram (32000mhz) (dual channel)

    Cooler master 650w 80+bronze power supply

    Gpu drivers are latest while writing this

    and windows 11 22h2 (latest)



    ANY kind of help WILL be more then appreciated, as i love my pc way too much and can get paranoid over these things.

    ANY kind of suggestions are also more then welcomed

    :)

    low cpu usage and low gpu usage

    Thanks, if you go to your laptop BIOS. Are you able to see your graphics card listed there?

    May I know If you tried forcing to use the GPU?
    Go to Windows Settings > System > Display > Graphics > select “Desktop app” and click on “Browse”
    Once there add the .exe files for each game.
    After that click on each one > options > select high performance > save
    Restart your PC and try again.

    By the way, how did you reinstalled windows?
    Via settings?

    That's nice to hear!

    May I know what exactly fixed the issue? Disabling the startup programs or creating a new user?

    low cpu usage and low gpu usage

    1.No, the game fully supported my os (Windows 10)

    2.From steam or its website

    3.Yes previously I can play without no issues

    4.Im on Windows 10

    5.I tried updating the driver but it's still the same

    Note: I tried reinstalling windows but it still happening. It's not just the game lagging it's the entire pc is lagging so hard

    low cpu usage and low gpu usage

    Are you able to see your graphics card listed via Task manager > show more details > performance?

    Or from here: Go to Windows settings > system > display > advanced display > display adapter properties?

    Let me know the results, in any case. Can be a bit odd but try this:

    A. Open task manager > select the startup tab > disable all the program listed there temporarily

    After that restart your PC and check how it goes

    B. Create a new local administrator user in your PC and try from there:

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this STEVE_086

    Please answer the following questions to assist you properly:

    Is this happening with games from other platforms?
    I mean, the issue persists no matter where you downloaded the game?

    Was you able to play games without issues previously or is this the first time that you try to play games in your laptop?
    Are you on windows 10 or 11?
    Also, do you know if your Windows system or any hardware component received an update recently?

    And what did you tried so far to fix this?
    In that way I can advise you different things or how to proceed
