GPU usage

[xnoobftw]

If the GPU usage reaches 100% it means that my CPU is not bottlenecking my GPU right? 

[KayTees]

Based on your specs, it shouldn't bottleneck.

[kameshss]

Under what it is reaching 100% ?

 

Seeing at your Signature, it is not a bottleneck at all.

[Fate]

Correct.

Yes.

I had multiple opinions (both saying that my CPU will/will not bottleneck my GPU and i am kinda confused right now) Crysis3 is so laggy to play on D: (it only doesnt lag when i go indoors)

Crysis 3, but IT IS SO LAGGY! D: (im playing on 1080p) And my heaven 4.0 score kinda sucks compared to others too even tho i manually OCed it D:

 

Correct.

 

Yes.

Ah thanks!

When playing Crysis 3 i see frequent dips in GPU usage in MSI afterburner (gonna play some now and take a screenshot for you guys to see)

Is there a way to fix it?

i5's generally are never bottle necked.

Something is wrong with your GPU, I guess.

RMA it.

Could be poor optimizations with the software(so either the driver or game). I would just wait for a fix.

The GPU usage is the 2nd graph from the top!

Wanted to be completely honest. I was looking at ur games the whole time

There is alot more that i havent installed yet

This is my GPU usage after running heaven for awhile

It should have nothing to do with the card right? (i honestly hope there is because this card OCs like crap )

EDIT: Ok I just (could barely read that) saw that you reached 84°C with your 290....which is strange coonsidering the TRI-X cooler. Let your GPU breathe, it is most like throtteling.

 

Or the benchmark just needs less GPU power at times....

 

 

But 84°C is really high for a TRI-X card. Look at my small case and setup...I never reach 80°C unless I play like FarCry 4 at 4k.

[Wiflare]

Because it's actually hitting 100% usage, that means your cpu can handle the card without bottlenecking it.

That's a pretty great card, almost overkill for 1080p.

Because i set my own custom curve to keep the PC slient I dont think 84c is a tempt where my GPU will throttle...

But in Crysis 3 my GPU usage dips like crazy D:

Crysis 3 is poorly optimized, and requires an abnormally beefy cpu. That's your gpu waiting on your cpu.

yeah, it's kinda buggy like that too.

So i'll have to suck it up? D:

unless you fiddle with settings or somehow increase your cpu's clock speeds, I guess so. Crysis is known for how demanding it is.

But my i5 is locked grrr D:

Is there a way to OC it?

only turbo boost.

But i heard certain MOBOS can OC a lock CPU
