Low GPU usage in games (only)

[Meln]

Hello All,

 

I've a RTX 2080ti paired with a R7 3700X. I'm playing on W10 with a 144 Hz panel at 2k resolution.

 

Few days ago I started to see some problems with GPU usage only in games (it always stays at 60%). However, when I test the GPU with 3DMark I get 99% of usage.

 

The only thing that I changed was MSI afterburner which I updated from beta 2 to beta 3.

 

I've uninstalled the drivers with DDU and also the MSI afterburner (reverting it back to beta 2).

 

Despite all my efforts I'm still getting low GPU usage when playing the same games I played before where I usually got 95+%.

 

I don't know what to do next

@Himommies and @glenalz81 I tried Gears 5, before I was getting 140 fps on ultra now I am getting 80 fps and during gameplay it goes down to 60fps

@Belas Yes, I saw your post I don't know what is happening and how to troubleshoot this. Don't know if it is hardware related or software..

@Belas What happens when you do a benchmark with 3DMark or Heaven?

Problem solved by doing a clean install of W10.
