Yeah I've already looked at that. It's weird because it feels as though the games are trying (badly) to hit a certain framerate, even though it's obviously different from game to game.

V-sync is always off.

1080p.

I'll have to disagree with you here though. My performance in games is literally the exact same as with my previous GPU, and when seeing benchmarks of games I'm often getting framerates that are below by a significant margin. I'm shooting for 144fps and while I know it isn't possible to reach that in every single game (especially cyberpunk) I also know from watching other people's benchmarks with systems that are nearly identical to mine performing better. And in most games my performance between max and minimum settings are *literally* identical, with the only difference being GPU usage. In Black Ops Cold War, for example, I always get between 80-100fps, no matter the graphics settings. There has to be something wrong here because my system is definitely under performing.

Hi, I've been dealing with this issue for quite a while. I first started experiencing it after I got my hands on a used Titan X Pascal, but now that I've gotten a 3080 and the issue persists I'd really like to figure out what's going on. My specs are: GPU: GTX 3080 CPU: R7 3700x MB: ROG STRIX B450-f GAMING RAM: 16GB at 3200MHz Power Supply: 750v The issue is that my graphics card isn't being fully utilized in many demanding games (such as cyberpunk, minecraft with RTX, Battlefield, ect.). I know it's normal for the GPU to not be at 100% usage all the time, but when I'm playing Cyberpunk for example, the usage sits around 50-80%, while I get a frame rate somewhere between 45-60fps. When turning the settings down, the GPU usage decreases whilst the framerate remains largely the same (maybe a small bump but not very noticeable). I know that this behavior is usually the symptoms of a bottleneck, but I'm pretty sure that nothing in my system should bottleneck in a way that's this significant. It's also worth mentioning that my temps are all reasonable, and my CPU usage also usually sits at around 50% at most. Since I've experienced this issue on two GPUs now, I'm even more confused. I doubt it's driver related, but I have of course tried to reinstall the drivers, just in case. I've also tried turning G-Sync on and off, to no avail. I'm really at a loss as to what's going on.

about 80-100 fps in BF1, which again seems to vary not so much on what is going on but rather how much the gpu is used. It's also bellow the framerate limit at 200fps, so I know it's not that.

Well, considering the fact that you might have to wait months before you might actually be able to realistically get your hands on either card, you might as well take that time to save up for the 3070

Hi, I'm experiencing a very weird issue with my preowned GTX Titan X Pascal. It's showing symptoms of having a bottleneck, since in games like BF1 and other more demanding games, the framerate seems to remain around the same value no matter the settings (varies from game to game). If, for example, I turn the settings up to ultra in BF1, I'll get around 95 to 99 percent usage, but if i turn it all the way down (and 50% resolution scaling) I get the same framerate but just much lower GPU usage. I know this is a sign of a bottleneck, but I can't for the life of me figure out where it would be. My specs are: GPU: GTX Titan X (Pascal) CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X RAM: 16gb of DDR4 at 3200MHz PSU: 750w In most games, the CPU usage doesn't really ever go above 50% (though certain cores do sometimes hop up to the 90'ies, but only ever for a few moments) At first I thought it might've been the CPU thermal throttling since it was running really hot, even when idling, but I've since gotten a Noctua NH-D15 and my temps are wonderfully cool, whilst the issue persists. I've tried so many things besides looking for the potential bottleneck, like reinstalling drivers, rolling back drivers, re-seating the GPU, reinstalling windows, turned G-Sync off, and nothing has worked. I also think it's worth noting that in a game like Minecraft, I'll get between 60-30fps with GPU utilization at 15% or less. Thank you in advance for any help you might give me EDIT: Forgot to mention that I doubt the GPU is thermal throttling, since it's showing this behavior no matter the temperature. I get max 84 degrees when using it but that's only when the GPU is actually being fully used.

Hi Im trying to remove the motherboard, I've removed all screws and stuff, and the motherboard flexes everywhere, but it's still stuck. I have a feeling it's got something to do with the IO, but I'm not sure

I've tried that, but due to the PCIE slot being slighty liften (and removed) on one side i'm unable to do that.

What plastic shield?

Hi, Today I was going to replace my motherboard, cpu and RAM. When removing the GPU, I forgot about the safety lock, and started pulling it out without first unlocking it. Now most of the GPU is out of the PCIE slot except the end where the lock is. I've been a little too violent I think because the end where the lock is of the PCIE slot has been lifted a bit off of the motherboard. I suppose the motherboard is as good as dead now, but I still hope to save the GPU. I'm unable to push the GPU entirely back into the PCIE slot to undo the lock too. What can I do?

So today i was gonna replace the motherboard, cpu and ram. When I went to pull out the graphics card i accidentally forgot to remove the safety mechanism. The PSI express slot is pulled slightly off the motherboard now, and, and the GPU is slightly pushed in on one end (where the lock is) and up in the other, and I'm unable to unlock the safety mechanism now. What do i do? Have i killed my gpu?
