    Why do some games completely max out a GPU while others don't?


    For example, GTA 5 uses 98-100% on pretty high settings, getting 45-50FPS. Halo Master Chief collection on the other hand gets 60FPS and uses 15-25% with high settings as well. Mafia III has a similar usage and framerate as Halo does. All three use roughly 30% CPU, about 2GB of RAM These are just some examples, there are many others that act differently. Are these games simply written better or use a better engine that others? Of course I know draw distance plays a lot into this too but is there something else at play here? My system has a GTX 1060 with 6GB GDDR5 and is running Windows 10 (1909)

    Gaming and Random Crashes.


    Hi,

    After some research and failing to find any solution i`ve decided to find help, have a gaming laptop (don`t judge me) and it used to work pretty well, until the latest Witcher expansion, i would be gettting a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION everytime i tried to start the game, some driver updates later and now i`m randomly getting the same BSOD so far i've tried.

    • Updating GPU Driver.
    • DDU the Drivers and do a clean install.
    • running sfc/scannow

    Unfortunately my internet time is limited and i couldn`t find any more steps.

    Any help would be appreciatted, and sorry for the bad english.

    Hello Guys,
