100% GPU

[ePilluw]

So, Yesterday i played PC Building Simulator and it worked perfect on Fantastic graphics and around 30% of my GPU was used, Later when i was done playing the game i put my computer to sleep on accident and i did not care so i just went to sleep. But in the middle of the night my computer started because probably cat sat on keyboard and it started, and when i woke up my parents had plugged the power cable, Now when i start any game at all the graphics card goes up to 4 times as much as normally and on PC Building Simulator it goes to 100% even on Very Low graphics, The game uses around 97% - 99.5% but it's still a shit ton. If anyone could tell my if there is any other fix then buying new graphics card. It's plugged in and i have latest drivers.   I really don't want a corrupted graphics card again.

 

Side note: The graphics card goes up to 67°C while playing the game, I'm not sure what it was on before.

 

Specs-------When playing
CPU > Intel Core i7 950 (3.07GHz) "Around 55°C When playing"
Ram > Single-Channel 8.00GB DDR3 797MHz (10-10-10-27)

Motherboard > Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. X58-USB3 (Socket 1366) "Around 45°C When playing"
Graphics card > 2047MB NVIDIA GeForceGTX 760 (ASUStek Computer Inc) "Around 67°C When playing"

Storage > 1863GB Seagate ST2000DM001-1CH164 ATA Device (SATA) "Around 31°C When playing"
------------------------------
Around a minute and half after i turned off the game the temperatures went to
CPU > Moving around between 42-50°C
  Motherboard > 44°C not moving around.

Graphics Card > 37-38°C "It was at 45°C when i typed how much CPU was when game was off"

  Storage > Still 31°C

------------------------------

I hope you people can help, I have heard you here are good at this, I would say i am but not when stuff looks broken.

Uhm, the game should utilize up to 100% of your graphics card.

That's entirely normal.

 

Did your FPS drop or something? If not, everything seems fine to me.

Unless you have a framelimiter it should utilize at least 100% of either the GPU or the CPU. Doesnt seem like it is very out of the ordinary. Did you by any chance have vsync enabled in the setting and now its turned off or something?

The FPS did drop, It was around 50 - 70 before. now it is around 30 - 50, But it's just the GPU usage that i get concerned because it is a lot more then before, And it was indeed not at 100% before, I can also not to anything at all else then play the game at some points because CPU and Memory is Bad and i think it might have done something, But it's not as it was before. it's worse now.

I have not changed anything, I never have VSync turned off. I just know for a fact that the FPS usage and probably not but maybe Temperature is worse.

have you tried powerdraining the system and do a complete reboot and see if the problems persist?

Yea i just tried it, It's better but i'm still having problems with, like i can't do anything else then actuairly play the game which i can barely play, I can play PC Building Sim now on low graphics without the lag but yesterday i could go to best settings. without any problems.

 

Edit: I also tried starting Hand Simulator game, which is a really small game that i can play on a PC Emulator on a jailbroken iphone 4 without lag because it's such a small game, and i still had low fps on there but i did not have up to 100% gpu usage.

Sounds like you should try reinstalling drivers, and if that doesn't work then try taking your computer apart, booting using onboard graphics, running windows update, then reinstalling your graphics card.

Send me back the details or questions regarding the data gathering.

Okey i will try this in a while, I know i don't have the latest windows update, This could be the problem but it shouldnt change if the version i have worked a while ago, Maybe it does change.

1, VSync is off always for me because i hate it.
2, If i change the limit of GPU usage, my computer is slower on some thing then if it's on 100%
3, I don't have MSI so i don't use Afterburner and i have no clue what it is.

Maybe read the text in which it is explained. I like this thread because it's a test for how much effort the OP is willing to put into solving his issue. And no, it's not needlessly complicated to that end, I've distilled it as far as I can.

 

It's probably easy to spot for someone who knows what he's doing, but you don't know what you're doing (otherwise you wouldn't ask) so I need to look at the raw data and figure out what's wrong. We're not fortune tellers, we don't know your machine's history. Either read the topic and post some Afterburner logs, or continue grasping at straws and maybe get lucky.

Yeah but he's saying that he used to play it on max settings with a quarter of gpu usage.

You don't need an msi cart to use msi afterburner. It supports nearly every cart.

 

Check your gpu overclocks

Well i have a really shitty old graphics card that is not even available on the marked, So i thought afterburner doesn't work.

But i can check.

Check. It should. There are compatibility options in afterburner. And a 760 is not that old. It will work

Could you send a, Ehhhh link to Afterburner, i can't find one

Edit: Nwm i found one

https://www.msi.com/page/afterburner. It's a little tricky to find. Scroll down to where is it just after the image that says "Gold standard in overclocking". There is a small heading saying afterburner in read. Then there are 3 tabs. The third one is donwload. You know what to do from there.

 

Make sure on the install, you install Riva tune stastics tuner. It is required.

Yea i found it, It was hidden, and it's installed now.

What next?

[ePilluw]

OMGGGGGG ffs, There is a new update to the graphics card it says NOW, but i checked earlier today if there is a new one and it said i have latest, And i had the problem. This could be the problem? But i don't know.

 

It literally said today. that it was up to date.
It does say tho that the update is just to optimize it for far cry 5. Only thing

Nothing else then "Far Cry 5"

Open it and try a small overclock. Maybe +30% core voltage. Near full power limit (whch is connected to temp limiit). +20 MHz on core. +80MHz on memory. That should work. If not just reduce the core and memory clocks a little. You can play around with it. You should be able to get more than that.

I can't change the core voltage, But i put +20 MHz on Core power and +80 MHz on Memory.

DO i try to start game again now?

Run a benchmark. Like valley benchmark for a while and see it is stable. Maybe 20 mins.

 

If it's stable increase overclocks. (core mhz and memory. You should try maxing out temp and power limits.

I just started PC Building Simulator again to see if i can see any changes like that while installing a benchmark, Well i can see that there isnt as much lag when on Ultra graphics, "Almost best graphics" but i can still feel lag. and when i walk to some places like out in the hallway it starts to lag really hard.

[Hugs12343]

Ahh that b***** cat!

 

Not saying that cats are bad. I have 2
