    Why does my pc use a low percent of my Gpu and Cpu while gaming?


    Whenever I play rust i run at barely 60 fps on medium to high settings, but my pc only uses 30% of my gpu and cpu. I know it could run way better if it used more, but I don't really know how to exactly do that. I have a RTX 2060 and a Ryzen 5 2600 with 16 gb of 2666 mhz memory. Temps arent a problem either. If anyone knows a fix, please let me know.

    :)

    Low CPU

    Over the past few weeks, my CPU has gotten really low...it used to run in the 60 and 70 percent range, now it's been as low as 5 percent. Firefox used to to use a lot of CPU, now it doesn't. Any ideas? Thanks...

  3. low cpu usage when gaming windows 11

    "i had no problems with running games on win 10"

    Are you sure its not using the Intel GPU? The Support site shows it should have Nvidia Optimus which means it could be set for the other GPU. That can cause confusion for people.

    There's only two real reasons for low usage. The game isn't using the CPU for various reasons or you are bottlenecking on something else (hardware or software).

    The signs point to another GPU being used. Though only 60% of that CPU, isn't bad at all. That's a decent CPU. Many games won't use 100% of 8 threads. If you've seen 100% usage on those games before on Windows 10 then something is probably bottlenecking the system.

    Why does my pc use a low percent of my Gpu and Cpu while gaming?

    Help with weird GPU/Integrated CPU game processing. Game is processing 3D on integrated CPU instead of the dedicated gpu

    For the game Black Ops III through steam, the game has super super low frames, which is very odd for my computer, being tit has fairly good specs. Looking at task manager, the game says it is running through GPU 0- Copy, which is my NVidia GPU, but looking at the actual performance monitoring, the game is running nothing through that GPU, and all the 3D through my AMD integrated CPU. I have tried changing the settings in NVidia control panel, and in the Windows Graphics settings to use the high performance processor, and turn off power saving mode for using the integrated CPU. II have also tried reinstalling all the drivers for graphics I could, but nothing seemed to help. No other games seem to have this issue either. Anybody know what else I can do here?
