GPU usage

i tried to play battlefiled 4 on ultra settings and 4xmsaa for a while as part of my stress test and observe the temperature and utilization of both cpu and gpu on hwmonitor.

It shows that my GPU utilization is 99%, which is good, but the frame buffer is only 70%.

What do you mean by that? Cpu bottlenecking?

 

I'm using i5 4690k overclocked to 4.5ghz. It should not bottleneck for my information.

CPU:  i7 4770k @ overclocked to 4.4ghz             GPU: Intel HD4600                                                                SSD: Kingston V300 120GB (OS)                   Cooler:  Corsair H100i GTX
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolve (Black)                RAM: 2x4gb Corsair Dominator Platinium 2133mhz  HDD: 1TB Seagate                                            Mouse: Logitech G502
OS:     Windows 10                                                      PSU: Corsair RM850i 80+ Gold                                          Motherboard:  AsusZ97 Pro Gamer              Keyboard: Vortex Pok3r 3

pretty sure frame buffer is the vram, and that is just how many textures/ games assets are loaded into the ram of the graphics card.

 

Similar to how the system ram is not always at 100%, the gpu video memory will not always be at 100%

Similar to how the system ram is not always at 100%, the gpu video memory will not always be at 100%

which means the game only needs 70% of it not because any limitation by hardware but software lar?

that sounds soothing for me since i am running an old game with a newly bought system.

Yeah, vram usage is nothing to worry about until it start reaching 100% (unlikely since the 970 has 4gb of vram)
