Graphics card is not giving its 100%

[XDaVleX]

I built my pc like a week ago. And since I built it I have noticed something: My gpu is not giving the 100%. Normaly it depends on the game, sometimes it is in 80% of usage in one game, but in another ocasion it is at 20% of usage. Independently, it never gets to 100%. I dont think that it is a bottleneck between my cpu and my gpu because I have seen a lot of benchmarks with the same specs ant they all gets to 98-100%

My specs:

I7-7700k (without overclock)

RTX 2070 Black (without overclock)

HDD 7.2 RPM

16 GB Ram 2400 Mhz Single Channel (Yes, I know, I have to update to dual channel but I dont think that is the problem)

PSU 750 W Gold

Here are some captures:

(VSYNC is off in all games and they all are in max graphics)

Another thing, Im not even playing at 1080p because I dont have a monitor with that resolution. I am playing at 1366x768

FPS in Fortnite are ok, anyway graphics card still not be able to reach 100%

Here are some  benchmarks with the same (or similar) specs:

As you can see, in all the games it reach the maximum usage.

Help me please!!

So 1366x768 is about half the number of pixels of 1080p so your graphics card is working significantly less than it would be at 1080p.

 

Playing at lower resolution will cause the GPU to be used much less. The CPU on the other hand will be working about the same as it would be at 1080p.

 

whats your CPU usage?

[GabeThePCHelper]

CPU usage, and your GPU is probably more specced for 1080p gaming, as thats really what most people have these days.

my GPU is rarely gets full load, a 1366 by 768 at 60 monitor (or tv) just dose not stress them to there max

But it drops sometimes for example to 40 fps. It is not supposed that at a lower resolution it should runs better than at a higher?

(CPU usage it is on the images)

But it is not supossed that a lower resolution it will run better? I dont understand this haha

On low resolutions you become CPU bottle necked. Increase resolution and graphics duality to use your GPUs power.

So if I buy a 1080p monitor it will run at it is supposed to run?

Seriously? I dont have idea. I thinked that in lower reolutions it would run better. So, if I buy a 1080p monitor it will run normally?

[Peter041098]

i think the drops in frame rate you mention is the ram not able to providing data as fast as the CPU is wanting it, duel channel ram should help more than a 1080p monitor

based on your GPU usage right now you will get the same fps at 1080p but with gpu usage close to 100%

[Zando_]

At that res you're putting all the stress on the CPU, the GPU doesn't have to work very hard, whereas if the CPU hiccups for just a second you get fps drops. If you wanna test and see if it runs better with more stress on the GPU, enable DSR in Nvidia Control Panel and use that to run it in 1080p or 1440p.

so, what i have to do??? Buy a new monitor or what? Do you think that the fps that I have right now are nromal for a RTX 2070?

[Peter041098]

When ever i launch just cause 3 the first 10 seconds or so the frame rate is in the 10 to 20 range then once it has loaded and figured itself out it goes up to 50 to 60 range (my CPU & 8gb of ram is the bottleneck in my pc)

Lower resolution means more stress on the CPU, higher resolution means more stress on the GPU. You have a system that is more for 1080p/1440p and you're running much less than either. If you were to bump up to 1080p you would see much better GPU usage. Also the single channel memory can affect the performance of your other components so I'd upgrade to high speed dual channel asap.

You need to find the balance between the CPU and GPU. 

If you run on low graphics settings your CPU gets over worked by trying to feed frames for the GPU to render. GPU is wasting its graphics power while waiting the CPU to give it something to render.

Yes, giving that you are running on a resolution that even gtx1060 would run over 60fps. That is if you want to use the full power of that 2070.

Yes you should upgrade to a 1080p or 1440p monitor. Otherwise your system is being held back by your current resolution. Your GPU is being under utilized, you're essentially being bottle necked by your resolution. Some people think the lower the resolution the better the performance, but that's not really the case. If you want a better much more smooth experience get a higher resolution monitor also dual channel memory wouldn't hurt either.

[Fasauceome]

Your GPU can't apply all of it's resources at once in every scenario, sure some games can leverage a lot of the hardware but other games will not put the full chip to good use at super low details. Think like a CPU, a CPU with 100 cores might only be able to use one or two in a game, so the other 98 won't be helping much.

 

Crank the details and turn up the resolution a bit, it'll change probably.

It works!!!! Now it runs so much better, Thank you thank you thank you. I will keep that DSR activated until I get a new monitor

 

[Quadriplegic]

At that resolution, with stock clocks and single channel RAM, you are limited by CPU.

Thank you man, I put DSR of Nvidia and I establish the reolution to 1080 and it runs better.

Good to hear that you got it working.

Also if your computer spec list includes all your parts, a SSD drive might be a good upgrade to consider. Helps your CPU and memory to feed that RTX card.

Yeah haha, that is another uprugade that I need, I dont investigated so well when I built my pc, but well, I am learning.

Thanks to you too man.
