GPU not running full utilization

[Sam F]

Hi, my 2080 super was only running at 12% utilization while running heaven benchmark. I was running ultra settings at 1080p

Specs? drivers?

Ryzen 5 1600 with a B450 aorus pro wifi and drivers are up to date

Heaven isn't that heavy on the CPU so it can't be the bottleneck.  Run as admin?  It might not be triggering the 3d clock speeds of the drivers.

temps are fine not thermal throttling

ran as admin still low

Does it do the same for other games/benchmarks?  Unigen has got 1 more, Valley.  If it only happens in benchmarks then it shouldn't really be a problem.  Unigen benchmarks are pretty bad anyway.  They frequently read the wrong specs, clock speeds etc.

Only the 3D core was at 100 but the others where at 0 that's why it said overall was 12. Any ways do you have any recommendations for gpu benchmarks?

I don't understand what you mean overall 12.  Are you averaging different clock speeds together and averaging that?

 

3DMark is the industry standard for GPU benchmarking, or at the very least the most used.  Most benchmarks are done in games tho so yea.  3DMark also isn't free, and I don't remember what the free version restrictions are.  It's cheap tho but not a necessary purchase.

What score do you get? is it around where a 2080 should be?
