low gpu usage

[jjohnthedon1]

so i ran firestrike today and my graphics scor dropped from 37k to 32k, any ideas why 

i have uninstalled geforce experiance as that has been a problem before but it did not help

 

something is stopping my top card from being fully utilised any ideas on how i can fix this or what is causeing it please  

[Godlygamer23]

Are you actually monitoring GPU usage when this occurs? If it's still hitting 99% usage, check clock speeds on both the Core, and Memory.

Drivers possibly?

Yes I am monitoring them and the top card just drops to 86 percent 

 

and in gaming top card drops to 80 percent and causes huge frame loss

What's your PSU? and GPU?

[jjohnthedon1]

its normaly nvdia share that does this, but i comepletly uninstalled it

My best guess for now would be to do a fresh install of your drivers, and if that doesn't fix it and you've updated them recently, revert back to the older version.

i did a clean install il try some olderr drivers now but they were workling fine before my new motherboard

could that be the issue ?

I doubt it, but I suppose it's possible - if somehow the motherboard is not allowing the bandwidth that's being requested(even if it should be there).

Hmm weird

Running at 99 percent usage without sli

Re-enable SLI and see if the situation repeats. Do you have other bridges that you can use?

Sli disables graphics score was only 19000 I think it's usually around 21k

Did clock speeds change from your typical?

No clock speeds are fine 

re enabled sli now and it's still the same 

it's like something is utalising my card

Could it be my base clock oc effecting it ?

Would appear it was the base clock being at 102 just dropped it back to 100 and ran test and got 33k not oced just running test again with oc applied

Thanks for the quick responses, godly mentioning clock speed changes got me thinking about jays 2 cents trying to base clock a 4790k and getting funky gpu results 

 

so yeah rolled it back to 100 and pushed the multiplier up instead and got a 36.8k firestrike score (due to running a slightly lower clock and memory than usual for thermal reasons 

 

thank you tho 

and add base clock to the diagnostics list if anyone else has an issue

[jjohnthedon1]

Also with the base clock oc in gpuz it read as pcie 2.0 but now it's 3.0 so maby it was choking the bandwidth too
