CPU Being Used Instead Of GPU!

[saintshoodog]

Hello, my GPU is showing up on Device Manager and is enabled, but my PC is using my CPU for processes that should be done on my GPU. When I play games, my CPU is doing all the work. In Task Manager, the GPU isn't listed at the top. When I go on the performance tab in Task Manager my GPU is listed, but isn't doing much.

What does MSI AB say? https://www.msi.com/page/afterburner

When you're looking at your task manager you aren't actively gaming so I wouldn't expect a heavy load at that point. With MSI AB you are able to see your usage and load(s) in real time.

The user needs to click on settings within MSI AB and then click on the monitoring tab. There you can select resources you want to monitor and then click on "show in OSD".

Next up is Speccy https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy. You can copy and paste your parts list into a reply or post a screenshot.

. There may be an imbalance we might see.

Not seeing an issue yet.

I found an answer. I had to go into NVIDIA Control Panel and set my OpenGL 3D GPU to GTX 1060. It was on auto.

I see.

Is your Physx set to the GPU too? That's right below the section you were just in.
