Is my graphic card good enough.

[Telhma]

Hello all, this is my first post here so hi all.

 

I am about to change my pc, because i found out that when i run my stuff, my CPU is always running 100%, so a other processor could be a improvement.

because it runs att 100%, I think my graphic card is not running full speed, else probebly my cpu had to wait on it, what it deafently is nor doing. but... how can i see what my graphic card is realy doing, so i know if i have to change it, or just take it to my new system?

 

thanks for the help

 

Greetings

Welcome to the forums

 

PC specs please Use PCPartPicker if you can

It should not be running at 100%.

 

I would recommend a Virus and Malware scan before you do anything.

Welcome to the Forums. What are your specs? (please use PCPartPicker) And make sure that you have no viruses or malware.

First of all welcome to the Linustechtips forum

 

Regarding your PC, did you buy it from a PC outlet store? or assemble it yourself?

You've informed us that the CPU is running balls to the wall 100%, is this when you're playing games/browsing the internet/playing games?.

 

Please share your computer specs if possible.

You can use http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ to view the gpu load (under the sensor tab).
