GTX 1050 Low GPU Usage

[parlak58]

Hey, I have GTX 1050 but it is using %5 between %30 GPU usage.Please help me.

My specs:

N68-VS3-FX
FX 6300
FSP-400-60HCN
8 GB Ram

It's because you've paired a semi-powerful modern graphics card with a crappy CPU that was obsolete upon its introduction six years ago and are trying to play relatively CPU demanding games. You can confirm this is the problem by reducing the resolution of your games to 800x600, if you still get the same FPS you know it's the CPU causing the problem. Also, I see you're using some flavour of Rivatuner, potentially Afterburner, if you dig into the settings there's an option to enable per-core monitoring of CPU usage, if you do that you'll more than likely see a couple of cores are being used at 100%, hence your issue.

 

Your first image though shows you're getting 125FPS, I wouldn't be losing any sleep over that at all regardless of what your system usage is.

Its true, but i saw who is playing %99 gpu usage with same system in youtube you can see

For example : 

his gpu usage is %99 but mine is %5 between %30.

Well there are quite some things we need to clear up. First you compare different games and well different games will perform differently. The video shows GTA V but you didn't include any GTA V screenshots or mentioned this game. Also the video shows a GPU usage of around 60 - 80% when driving in the city and only hits 90 - 100% when outside the city. That is more or less what you would expect since inside the city there is much, much more information to be processed that on the country side.

 

Coming back to your problem: I don't know ROE, I don't recognize the second game and I never played LOL or is that Dota? Don't ask me. But what I can tell you is that each game uses the available resources differently. There are games that require much more cpu horsepower than gpu.

 

The first screenshots show a current framerate of 124 FPS. That is pretty high and since your cpu and gpu isn't used all that much I would say the games engine is running at its max. So no need to worry.

 

The second and third screenshot show low framerate at low cpu and gpu usage. Here I would ask for more details. What settings are you running at, what is running in the background, what the usage of each cpu core looks like and not just the overall usage and what your nvidia driver settings look like. Also it is good to know if the game itself has known issues with performance.

The game settings are 1080p in low (high is same gpu usage too) and LOL settings are 1080p very high, there is no background program.I will test cpu core usage

You were helped. It’s the cpu. Confirm by changing the riviatuner to report individual core usage.

 

you have 33% and 66% usage. That would be maxing out 2 cores in some games and 4 in others.
