Witcher 3 GPU usage 1% lmao

[phoon]

So I just OC'd my Strix 1080 and wanted to test out Witcher 3 performance on it. Um, I know I'm supposed to use GPU-Z or another monitoring software but isn't task manager also supposed to show me that my GPU is being used. I mean 1% usage seems to me that the game is running off my iGPU on my 6700k. If the answer is the obvious one where task manager doesn't display directx11 usage then just laugh at me but don't insult me. But if I've been playing the game on my iGPU this whole time I swear I'll pop a blood vessel.

 

Thank You in Advance!

Task manager's gpu percentage has never been accurate for me... I would double check it with 3rd party software like HwInfo

There is a setting you can change in task manager under your gpu.  You can change what it is monitoring.  I think it needs to be set to cuda?  but i don't remember.

Yeah mine in task manager is never accurate, mostly on Vulkan and DX11 games, DX 12 games usually the percentage lines up with GPU-Z within a few percent.

 

You really should be using GPU-Z if you want an accurate percentage.
