GPU never more than 0%

[Takt1kal]

I have intel HD integrated graphics (with no number behind it) and no matter what its always 0%, even in games. My laptop has only one GPU with microsoft basic display adapter, when I switch to basic display adapter the resolution get lowered and its still 0%.My laptop is a dell inspiron 1564 with an intel core i3 m 330 cpu. with my gpu always being 0%, I lag in old games too like half-life and minecraft java. Thank you.

i'm surprise you even can game with that gpu.

try installing intel driver.

microsoft basic drive is good only for a simple display adapter.

It probably lags anyway. The integrated graphics in 2010 i3's is really, really bad. It's doing all it can, it just isn't fast enough to run Half Life or Minecraft. It also might not have the capability to report usage.

 

You can try downloading the latest intel graphics drivers from the manufacturer of your laptop and see if that fixes it, but don't expect performance to get any better.

It's not supported in windows 10 officially so that is why it is doing this.

Thank you for replying, I have already tried updating the driver but its up to date and I reinstalled it too, none of these fixed the problem, Thanks again.

This. It's not 0%. It has to be doing *something* or you wouldn't have a display at all. It probably isn't capable of reporting usage either on a fundamental level, or just because the driver doesn't enable it.

Thanks for replying, I really appreciate it.

Task manager does not have the GPU tab in performance, I was using xbox game bar. Thank you for replying!
