Performance utilization in game

[razersurf]

I was checking the utilization of cpu and gpu in Modern warfare, and I thought this was very weird ( see picture attached).

 

How come my cpu is utilized between 60-95%, while my GPU is barely stretching its legs? Is this normal?

Your GPU is being bottlenecked by your CPU. Get a faster CPU.

That, I was aware of. But shouldnæt my GPU run at more than 4% utilization still? That seems extremely low for such a demanding game.

For one, if you tab out of the game to look at the Resource Monitor, many games pause their rendering. Secondly, it just sometimes reports GPU-utlization wrong.

 

I recommend installing MSI Afterburner and enabling GPU-usage in OSD -- that way you'll see its utilization in real-time in-game.

Yep get the RivaTuner Statistics Afterburner OSD for in-game monitoring of your hardware usage and info.

plugg your monitor into your gpu not mainboard?

Task manager does not report the utilization in DX12 games, so the game's usage is simply not shown.
