No, that's the thing, I can turn the graphics settings down to 1080p low (where I should be getting like 120+ fps), but the GPU utilization just fluctuates between 40 and 60% and I only get 60-80 fps. I can turn the graphics up to 1440p high with ray tracing which adds a lot more load, so the utilization is typically 75-95%, but still at the same framerate. So the GPU performance isn't scaling properly. I can even crank it all the way down to 720p and still only get 60-70 fps and 50% GPU utilization.

Nah, they're all getting used about 50-60%. I think it's just pretty demanding on GPU and CPU. But I can't figure out why it won't utilize the GPU. I'm playing at 1440p high with ray tracing and DLSS and still getting the same fps as when I'm on 1080p low preset, around 60fps. Only difference is now with all those added loads, it's actually utilizing most of the GPU in this scenario.

Today I was finally able to get an RTX 3080 (MSI Gaming X Trio), an upgrade from my Zotac Amp Extreme GTX 1080. I have a Ryzen 9 3900X, both the CPU and GPU are just running stock. In Cyberpunk 2077 (I know it's a little buggy, but not to the performance-impacting degree I'm experiencing), I am only getting 60-80 fps on 1080p low preset (no DLSS, no ray tracing) and according to other benchmarks I should be getting like 120+ fps average. MSI Afterburner shows the GPU utilization floating only between 40 and 60%, and CPU utilization is also typically in the 60% range. I used the hex editor patch (detailed here) to enable multithreading on Ryzen in the game and can confirm they're all getting used in task manager. I also changed the config file (detailed here) to allocate more RAM and VRAM than is in the config. I also tried running the game as administrator and enabling Game Mode in Windows, but nothing has solved it. Idk what is causing my issue though. The only thing I can think of is that I'm on an older Asus Prime X370 Pro motherboard and am limited to slower Corsair LPX 2666MHz RAM (2x16GB), but I don't think RAM speed scaling should impact me that severely. Any help/ideas? Here is my 3DMark benchmark of this new configuration. The GPU performance is a little lower than average for a 3080, but I figure that can probably be attributed to the lower RAM speeds https://www.3dmark.com/spy/16314226

For now, I haven't had the stuttering problem since changing that Nvidia control panel setting. If the stuttering comes back, I'll try an older Nvidia driver. But my issues all seem to be directly tied to this monitor problem I've been having, as best I can tell. I'm getting a new M.2 NVMe SSD soon and will probably do a clean install of Windows then. I'll post an update comment then whether I'm still having the issues or if that fixes them

I just have one SATA SSD, and it's performing fine. I don't know what kind of data you want me to give you

Alright, here's my usage graph while playing. The drop at the end is just from exiting the game, and the fluctuations were just normal utilization as the game changed. There was no stuttering after changing that power management mode setting, but I've also unplugged the monitor that's been giving me issues. I'm gonna plug the monitor back in and restart and will see if I still don't have the stuttering issue

Yeah, I should've included that in my screenshot as well. But they were hovering in the 65-70 zone, just dropping slightly along with the stutters, as expected

CPU is a Ryzen 7 1700 @3.8 GHz. It seems to be performing without issue, as far as I can tell

Okay, I've set it to prefer max performance and am about to try that out. My main monitor is a G-Sync. Will changing the max # of pre-rendered frames affect that? I also have been experiencing a graphical issue with one of my monitors . I've restarted my PC and left that monitor unplugged, so I'll see if that affects this issue as well

Yeah it's the Zotac Amp! Extreme with a monstrous cooler. The max temp it gets to is about 70 C when playing games. My PSU is a Thermaltake 750W

I just noticed my GPU (GTX 1080) is stuttering regularly, and hard too. I noticed it while gaming at 80-100+ fps, and the screen basically freezes for like 5-10 frames every second or so. It's incredibly jarring, and I can even notice it just on the desktop even when not gaming, just in mouse movement and when watching videos. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I'm on the latest 416.34 driver.

I have three monitors. A G-Sync 1440p165Hz and a 1080p60 on each side, all plugged into separate ports of a GTX 1080. Over the past few weeks, I've been having issues regarding only the right monitor. When the computer idles and goes to sleep (turning the displays off but not locking), sometimes when I come back and move the mouse to wake it up, the right monitor will have strange artifacting effect like the lines are offset back and forth or something. See the example photos of MSI afterburner and my Steam library on the affected monitor. http://imgur.com/gallery/YHoNyhH You can still move things back and forth to it and sort of make out what's on the screen, but it's definitely an issue. Now here are the oddities I've encountered that really make this a problem: If I turn off, unplug, or change the display adapter properties of the affected monitor after it's glitched, my entire PC locks up and freezes, completely unusable without a hard shut down. I did this once with a video open and the sound continued until the video ended, so it seems to still be operating in the background, but all of the screens and input are completely frozen. I have a Steam Link connected to my TV. If I use the Steam Link and connect to my PC after the monitor has glitched, when I navigate the mouse over to the affected monitor on the Steam Link, the graphical glitch is still visible even on the TV (leading me to believe it's not an issue specifically with the monitor) and my mouse is then locked onto that screen and I can't mouse back off of it without turning the Steam Link off. And last, if I connect to my PC from my phone via TeamViewer after the monitor has glitched, whenever I toggle the view over to the affected monitor, I immediately lose connection to the PC and have to reconnect. If I come back and wake the computer to find that the monitor has glitched, and then I let it idle and sleep again, and then wake it once more, instead of all the monitors coming back on, they all remain black and my speakers start beeping, forcing a hard shut down. The only way I've found to fix the issue after it's started is to simply restart the PC without unplugging or turning off any monitor, and it will reboot just fine. The only thing I could think of is that it's a GPU issue. The only problem with that though, is that my GPU has been performing more than admirably everywhere else. I have zero issues playing demanding games at high framerates, multitasking and using Windows across monitors, and even in benchmarking and stress tests. This graphical issue has persisted through 2 or 3 GPU driver updates. And the issue has never occurred while I'm actively using the PC, only like 3 out of 4 times when it wakes from sleep. The only other hardware change of any kind recently is that I had an old 3TB hard drive used for game storage fail, but it was removed 2 or 3 weeks before this started happening. Any help or advice is much appreciated.

I've been experiencing a bizarre issue. I have three monitors. One G-Sync 1440p165Hz, a secondary 1080p60 on the left, and a vertical tertiary 1080p60 on the right, all plugged into separate ports of a GTX 1080.

If that's the case, then why wouldn't they run at their advertised speed of 2666 both on the box and in the QVL?

Hey guys, back again with an update. So I looked at the BIOS screen and saw the DOCP profile setting you were talking about. It was set to disabled but the other setting was for the RAM at 2666 with all the appropriate voltages and timings associated to it. So I set it to that, DOCP Profile 1. Clicked save and exit. Once again wouldn't POST. Reset the CMOS like before and tried it again, still nothing Edit: It might be worth noting that I've been able to manually overclock the CPU without issue
