GTX 1080 usage at 20-50 percent

[Andros1234]

CPU- i7-4770k 3.5 GHz
GPU- GTX 1080
PSU- 750w
RAM- 20gb

Vsync is off
Nothing is overheating
Some games like Tom Clancy's The Division, DOOM (new one), ARK and a few others have no issues at all 99 percent usage...

But others like arma 3, Star Citizen, Dayz and few others barely use 30 percent.

Oh yeah and benchmarks Firestrike, Heaven have 0 issues

I wouldn't think a bottleneck??? What could this be and how can I fix it?

It may be possible that few games giving you crap are not properly optimized for the gtx 1080. I would use Msi afterburner to see if your processor is bottlenecking the card.

But what FPS are you getting in those games where the GPU usage is low?

CPU is only at 30 percent

20-40 FPS

Are those on-line game? If so, all bets are off. In on-line games, your performance is also subject to the performance of the other players on that server, probably none of whom have a GTX 1080. The server balances your performance along with everyone else to keep things fair.

Which game translates network lag into frames per second lost?

Arma 3 playing singleplayer, Star Citizen was online, Dayz online

What resolution do you play at?

What resolution do you play at?

1920x1200 60Hz

Little edit I just played Subnautica GPU was at 25 percent but the FPS was 100+ so no biggie there.

dude theres your problem, you have no issue(except maybe star citizen which im unsure of), arma 3 and dayz never come close to using 80%+ gpu usage, the way arma 3 is everything is loaded onto the cpu, all of the calculations for ballistics, AI descisions and so on, you will not find anyone who gets close to 100% usage in dayz either until maybe full release when they have done more work on optimization. dont worry about it as its normal with those titles and dont expect it to change either, atleast not anytime soon unless they get a whole engine rewrite(talking about arma 3, dayz is in process). your good, dont worry about it, if you want better fps in arma 3/dayz, then overclock your cpu the best you can, that will give you the biggest difference.

Thank you, ordered a nice closed loop liquid cooler yesterday see how much of an overclock I can get on the 4770K!

dayz just went to 0.60 stable, you should notice a decent jump in performance there, gpu usage is still low for me on it but it runs decent now.
