Low GPU Usage & FPS

[fej4551]

 

 

Hi all,

 

(Previously posted on Tom's Hardware but didn't get any suggestions,so im posting to this forum instead)

 

Just moved in to new house.Upon setting up PC,I realized that the GPU Usage was near 0% and that framerate as a result went to crap.I never had any of such issues before

The PC recognizes my GPU,it just doesn't seem like its utilizing it for games and programs(Wallpaper Engine works fine though fsr)
(Ran OW CSGO and 3d Firemark which most of them crashed and hanged due to low fps)

My GPU is really heavy so i thought that sagging might be the problem but even after rotating the PC sideways,it still yielded no results.
Could it be PCI-E Issues?Or some software?

I have:
Updated GPU and Motherboard Bios
Made sure that the power connectors were connected properly
Replaced with my spare GTX 1080 but still low usage(not a GPU problem)
Made sure that programs and nvidia control center could recognize my GPU
Checked Bios settings and made sure that PCI was set to PEG and VT-D was enabled

Do you have another pcie slot? Like a x8 slot? 

Try that slot and see if it works. Remember to post results.

Honestly it almost sounds like your PC is using the Intel Integrated graphics. Try running some benchmarking software and seeing what card its detecting and using to render the video

It shouldn't be, as 4 Gen Intel graphics lag even in wallpaper engine, he mentioned that wallpaper engine worked, so that shouldn't be the problem.

hmmm maybe the PCI contacts could be corroded or dirty so he could be getting bottlenecked that way? That just doesnt seem likely though...
