Question GPU at 1% in games

[Arturovski]

Hi,
I've recently upgraded from an RX560 to an RTX 3060 ti with 8GB of VRAM and none of my games seem to be using it. The problem is that while I had around 50fps in for example GTAV with the RX560 (consistent with its capabilities), I have around the same fps with the RTX 3060. When I look in task manager, I see that my GPU is constantly at 1-3%, but CPU at around 50%. I have 32GB of RAM and I tried it with different DIMMs, it's installed on an SSD and the PSU is not the issue either. Thermals are also fine. I tried everything, setting task manager to high and real time, in game settings, nvidia control panel... My CPU also doesn't have integrated graphics, so I don't understand how these games are running at all!? Same goes for Cyberpunk 2077 and Minecraft, the fps I am getting is way below what I should be getting. And before you ask, none of the games are cracked . I just don't know what to do anymore.

did you use ddu to uninstall the old driver?

I just did and it doesn't help (after restart of course).

Asrock B350M Pro4 with a Ryzen 5 1600X and 32GB of RAM at 3600mHz (although the motherboard theoretically supports 2400 max, but even with 2400 RAM it's the same). The SSD is a 1TB Samsung 870 QVO which is 60% full. GPU RTX 3060 ti with 8GB of VRAM and a Seasonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze PSU. I have had my GPU at 100% while testing its rendering capabilities in Blender (it was consistent with what it should output), so the PSU can probably push the power.
