GPU Not showing in task manager.

[AlphonseK]

I apologize in advance for the long post, also thanks for any and all help.

 

I had a few BSODs relating to driver issues recently, (I don't remember most of them, the last few were "SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION" and hasn't happened since)

so I went and did a fresh install of windows. (long over due.)

After which task manager wasn't displaying my gigabyte gtx 1070 ti, Though both my monitors were working, and at correct resolutions, through the gfx card.

More over, it shows up in device manager and other monitoring software (Speccy, Cpu-z, HWmonitor.)

 

thus far I haven't measured any real performance loss due to this.

I would still like to get it fixed simply to have my fresh, clean install working 100% properly.

 

One really weird thing of note is that the card works fine, EXCEPT in one very specific instance.

When playing darksouls 3, and in full screen mode, you go to options, then to the graphics tab, ONLY while in the graphics tab where it lists resolution and such, the game will chug down to like 3-5 fps to the point that the game disconnects from the internet and kicks you out of your session due to "unplayable frame rates". everything else works, and it doesn't chug in windowed or borderless mode either.

 

 

For reference my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/alphonseTK/saved/8Jyhyc

So far I...

restart after pretty much any change is made,

Tried geforce EXP drivers,

Tried gfx drivers straight from gigabyte website,

uninstalled and reinstalled gfx drivers,

Tried windows native driver update in device manager,

and finally, physically unseating and re-seating the card itself.

 

 

Thanks again for any and all help.

Did you install the WDDM version of the driver? Because task manager needs at least WDDM 2.0 compatible drivers.

Open the start menu and simply type dxdiag.exe. Look under the Display tab, in the Drivers section for the Driver Model.

Both Display 1 and Display 2 say driver model: WDDM 2.1

 

I've included the DxDiag file in case there's anything else there you may need.
