Hello Villas,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing performance issues while gaming. There are several possible causes for this problem, such as overheating, outdated drivers, background processes, power settings, etc.

Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:



- Check the temperature of your CPU and GPU using a monitoring software like HWMonitor or MSI Afterburner. If they are too high, you may need to improve your cooling system or lower your overclock settings if you have any.

- Update your drivers for your CPU and GPU using the official websites of Intel and NVIDIA. Avoid using third-party software that may install unwanted or incompatible drivers.

- Close any unnecessary programs or services that may be running in the background and consuming CPU resources. You can use Task Manager to see which processes are using the most CPU and end them if they are not essential.

- Adjust your power settings to High Performance mode in Windows Settings > System > Power & Sleep > Additional Power Settings. This will ensure that your CPU and GPU are not throttled by power saving features.

- Try lowering the resolution or graphics settings of your games to reduce the load on your GPU and CPU. You can also use NVIDIA Control Panel to optimize your games for performance.



I hope this helps! If you’re still having trouble, please let me know we will do our best to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible.

I can run other games with quite normal GPU usage like 30 - 60 CPU Usage and 70-100 GPU Usage in other games but I noticed that I have other games on HDD disk and Roblox on SSD disk and I was wondering if this might be Disk issue. On the one of screenshots at UserBenchmark results that says to plug in SSD disk into SATA 3.0 port with SATA 3.0 cabel. My problem is low GPU Usage in roblox but in some cases I have pretty high gpu usage and then it drops from like 50% to 20%.

I forgot to add that I have ddr3 ram 1333Mhz

new question: How the hell do i make cpu usage to gpu usage for roblox.

1. All Drivers are up to date

2. Games were already at lowest settings when testing fps

3. Temps were stitting at a solid 70 c cpu and 40 c gpu

4. While gaming there was only 30% cpu usage and 5% gpu usage
