Low GPU and Low CPU Usage Issue

[Marcus Torre DeProspero]

so I haven't noticed this before but my fallout 4 dips very low like into the the 19 -24fps range while outside of any major city only ever goes to 48 -52 fps when in diamond city or goodneighbor. This started to happen quite recently after I added a few mods to my game but only some clothing and some command mods like non texture related ones. I think it's only in Faloout but I will have to test more games because I used MSI kombustor and it is able to hit power: 122% easily and it'll hit 99% usage like nothing but not in fallout 4. Any ideas on what's happening?

 

My specs:

4790k 4.4GHz

GTX 980 ti Gigabyte Xtreme

AX 860i

Asus z97 Pro Gamer

pretty much everything else I guess is standard stuff.

Poor mod programming. I would start by deleting some of the mods and seeing which one is tanking your performance.

 

I would also check your PC's power plan and make sure it's either on "Balanced" or "high Performance".

 

what OS are you using?

Well I just played a bit of Witcher 3 and noticed this, the power is very low while the usage is at full I don't quite understand what is doing this.

yeah I get that dude I am not an idiot, I just don't understand what options I need to activate and which ones should stay inactive

I think the reason your power consumption is low while your GPU is at 99% may be because that power consumption is already considering the increased power limit.

 

Mods often are badly optimized and may have excessive meshes, what can cause a lot of load on specific components of the GPU, making other components sit on their asses. I'm not sure on that, just a guess out of thin air.

Is your power plan on balanced? That's all you have to do.

I see that you're on Win 10. Was this problem before or after the anniversary update? If it's after, try rolling back and seeing if it helps.

I would also look if this issue occurs when you have no mods except core mods.

First off the picture I sent is from witcher 3 not modded at all and I am having issues in most of my games not even being able to hit 99% on my gpu usage please read everything.

I didn't have to update anything it just happened after about two hours of not playing it and then get back on and it sarted doing it

Are you using Mod Manager or Mod Organizer? Or just doing manual installs?
