i7 4790K & GTX 960 4GB GPU usage low

[dan123123]

So yesterday I got my i7 processor and was really excited to try it out and see how well games run and whilist I was getting 76fps locked on BF4 on every map my GPU usage flucuated between 50-70% even on 64 man servers. My settings are all ultra with AA turned off. Any idea what may be the cause of this problem?

Do you have v-sync turned on or do you use a program like EVGA Precision and have the "target framerate" set to 76? It normally won't lock to a specific framerate unless one of those two things causes it. If you want the frames to be unlocked, make sure v-sync is off in the game's video settings (in game menus) and turn off global v-sync in the Nvidia menu (right click desktop and select Nvidia menu).

I have my fps set to 76 in a config file.

Uh, well if you set it to that, then that's just how much GPU usage it will take to get 76 fps. The only way to get a higher % GPU load is to crank up settings, increase the resolution, or unlock the fps.

Thanks!
