GPU Usage Extremely Low

Solution
Trying to maintain 144fps on a 1050 ti is your problem. You need a more capable card. Unless the game is a very low demand title, you'll never achieve that kind of performance on an entry level gaming card like that.

Clearly it exceeds the recommended requirements, but those are for 60fps/60hz 1080p, not 144fps/144hz performance.


i7 4790 3.6Ghz
zotac 1050ti 4gb
16 gb of crucial ballistix ram
tx650m PSU (650 watts)
MSI H81M-E33 MOBO
samsung ssd 120gb
HDD Western Digital 1TB

 
Try increasing the settings. That card should be capable of medium settings at that resolution. It's likely that you are flooding the CPU with too many FPS to keep up. Increasing the difficulty will shift more of the load onto the GPU card.

What is the refresh rate of your monitor?

What are your current average and low FPS?
 




my refresh rate is 144htz on an asus MG248QR with 1ms response time

minimum is 54.3
average is 120.1
maximum is 202.5
