Question GPU not being utilised

[Andrew 3584]

Hello,
only in minecraft my graphics card has zero utilisation according to rivertuner and the fps is around 60 due to it using the intergrated intel 630 gpu.
One thing to note is that when i first upgraded my gpu, i did test mincraft and it was using the dedicated gpu. Maybe driver issue?
My cpu is the i5 8400
GPU is the gtx 1660 super

Is the monitor plugged into the gpu and not the motherboard? On a desktop the only way to use the I gpu is to plug the monitor into the motherboard.

Like i stated above... I only experience this in Minecraft. Every other game or program uses the dedicated gpu.

A desktop cannot swap between integrated and dedicated graphics like laptop can. Something else must be going on. Can you try different monitoring software?

oops my bad, I have nvidia experience on my pc so I think it defaulted my game settings to something ridiculous like max quality slider in the optimise game tab(32 render distance chunks or something). I think i was just assuming that the intergrated was some how being used since my cpu was maxing out (99%) and the gpu was super low like 2%..
But what still confuses me is that the fps when reducing the renderin distance to 16, I only get around 150-200 fps with 16% gpu usuage
