  1. Games not using GPU issue


    Why is it doing this? I disabled the normal gpu from device manager and now it's not using my external gpu. Also I don't want to manually change specific apps to use the external gpu by going to graphics settings.

  2. Roblox low gpu usage issue

    Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

    Thank you for providing detailed information about your issue. To better assist you, I have a few additional questions and suggestions:

    1. Other Games: Could you specify which other games you are able to run without any issues? This will help us understand the performance demands in comparison to Roblox.
    2. Temperature and Usage: Please check your CPU's temperature and usage while playing Roblox. Tools such as HWINFO, MSI Afterburner, or similar can provide this information. Overheating or throttling could potentially cause the FPS drops you are experiencing.
    3. Testing Steps: You've already tried several troubleshooting steps, which is great. However, considering the following might help narrow down the issue further:
      • Check for any dust buildup or insufficient cooling that might be affecting your GPU's performance over time.
      • Monitor the GPU usage and temperatures to see if there are any unusual spikes or drops when the FPS issue occurs.
    4. Power Supply: Your 320W PSU might be on the lower end for your system's power requirements, especially under load. Even though you've tested with another PSU, ensure that it is of a higher wattage and quality to rule out power issues completely.
    5. RAM and SSD: Since you suspect the SSD or RAM might be causing issues, consider running diagnostics:
      • Use tools like MemTest86 to check for any RAM errors.
      • Perform a thorough check on your SSD health using tools like CrystalDiskInfo.
    6. FPS Unlocker: While you mentioned that the FPS Unlocker isn’t the issue, try running Roblox without it to see if the problem persists. This can help rule out any software conflicts.
    Please share the results from these tests, especially the CPU and GPU temperature and usage statistics, as they will help in diagnosing the issue further.

    Games not using GPU issue

    My GPU is heavily under performing, please help!

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.


    • What is the make and model of GPU?

    • Do you face this issue only with this game or all the game?
    I suggest you to use the same GPU in different computer and check if the issue persist.

    As you mentioned that you have overclocked the CPU, Microsoft does not recommend overclocking the CPU.

    Reply with necessary information and I’ll be happy to help you further

    Thanks and Regards
