Question about GPU utilization

DrDon · August 9, 2023

I have a question how come on my G-Force experience it says my GPU utilization is about 40 to 50%, but task manager says it's 100%? All of my drivers are up to date was just curious on what would be causing this and which one would be more reliable, thanks!

Task manager is notoriously bad for utilization tracking. If the driver is reporting at 40-50%, but task manager is reporting 100%, assume task manager is incorrect.

My understanding is that each GPU reports the utilization. So Windows might be interpreting a different sensor or incorrectly reporting the value it is receiving... It's best to trust Nvidia's software on this one, especially with up-to-date drivers.
