GPU not being fully used

[Panda1994]

I just bought mount and blade warband the dlc collection, i started to play warband and it was nice then i started to play viking conquest, but it was very laggy, i had 60 fps in villages only, but in any battle no matter how many troops i had lag.  I checked with MSI Afterburner and i noticed the gpu's max usage it got to was 20% and at the cpu i had number 3 1 and 7 always at high usage.Only viking conquest lags like that, but warband uses 20% of the gpu too, even if it doesnt lag.. 

My laptops specs are:

GPU: gtx 950m 4gb

Cpu: i7-4720hq 3.6ghz

RAM: 8gb ddr3 1600mhz

1tb hdd and a m.2 samsung 860evo 250gb ssd

no idea what game that is or is issue only occur for that game/ scene. 

 

reset game setting/ reinstall (in case dlc messed up something)(/ wait for game patch?)

reinstall nvidia drivers/ windows

I already did a clean reinstall of drivers with DDU after i reinstalled windows, and i already tried to update drivers, take an older version and at final i did the clean reinstall with DDU

Mate, the game works on a graphics card marked as 3D & 64M of RAM. I doubt it would cause and modern-ish card to break a sweat!

And what about the fps drops from 60 to 10-20...it does bother me if it is a constant 20 or 30 but it just goes up and down

i think this is an optimus driver fault. go to nvidia setting and have your computer use the 950m not the integrated graphic.

Already checked it, it uses the gtx 950m

Well i found an otger problem, in battle the gpu is 99% ysed but the problem is that its clocks go from 900 to 405 and they get stuck there only at high usage

[Panda1994]

Well, just dlfound out, the higher the usage the lower the clock speed, and the lowest it gets is 405mhz both core clock and memory, and the lower usage the higher clock speed 993 for core clock 900 for memory, that is why i have lag probably, and this happens in every game it looks like
