Folding@Home Troubleshooting Help

Hello, I started folding on my computer about half an hour ago and after reading up online, I know that turning the load all the way up to Full makes your CPU use 100% but, I thought that the process would also make my GPU usage high since 3D modelling is better done using a GPU, but according to my task manager, GPU usage is topping off at 4%, I want to utilize all of my 1080Ti, and I have attached a screenshot of task manager. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

based on how the work unit is completing, it seems like it is actually completing the unit propperly. have a look in GPU-Z. is your gpu showing up as loded there? how much power is it pulling?

My rig: r7 1700 @ 3.9/1.35v, 16gb ddr4 3200, assorted rando SSDs, hx 1050, vega 64 1650/1025

You have to look at the compute load in task manager in Windoze Right click on the graph and select the other mode and it should show the GPU heavily utilized.

Task Manager doesn't show Cuda load. You will need to go to the Performance tab in Task manager, select your graphics card, then change one of the graphs to Cuda

Where do you look see how many points you personally have and how many work units you've accumulated?

I only see where it says points per day

You can look up your accumulated points at FoldingatHome but most people use Extreme Overclocking
