[prajwal88]

hie guys i downloaded nfs payback game 

and saw that the gpu usage 99 % at the lowest possible graphics settings. 

and is it safe to run Asus Cerberus 1050ti

Yes, I am not sure why you are trying to bring down usage. Nvidia driver reduces core clocks to maximize efficiency and reduce power usage while keeping steady fps.

its normal for every gpu to hit 99-100% while playing games , dont worry about it.

This is perfectly normal behavior. Unless I enable a framerate limiter or the game is poorly programmed (cough cough bethesda) I will always be at 100% GPU usage in every game. Even on low settings the game is clearly still restricted the most by your GPU, and hence is running your GPU at 99% usage/speed to squeeze as many frames out as possible.

no

at the current time dont upgrade your gpu also since they are really expensive. i would definitely up ur pc to 2x8 3200mhz ram

You will not void warranty by using it. Which is exactly what you are doing. Dont worry.

This is 100% perfectly normal behavior. This is 100% within the warranty and is normal usage. If the game looks fun, install it.

You don't need to individually quote and ask each person the same question. Just @ reply them.

 

No, it won't void your warranty. This is normal usage. The GPU will always try to work as hard as it can.

 

The only real consideration here is fan noise. GPU power is going to go into one of three main buckets: resolution, quality, and FPS. Since resolution is usually fixed, and you ultimately control the quality settings, at a certain point, it just dumps everything into rendering as many frames as possible. At a certain point that becomes pointless. If you're getting like 400 FPS, just to take an extreme example, then running the card at full power, which causes the fans to be louder to cool it off, just isn't really worth it. At that point, you can frame cap it, just so you have a quieter gaming experience.
