So, I have been having problems with usage in some of the games I play. In BF4 it is the worst with my gpu only outputting 60% average usage. BF3 is better, hovering around 80-85%. Both graphs of the usage are very spikey. Contrary to that, when I run the Unigene Heaven Benchmark 4.0, I get scores that line up perfectly with ones that I find online. Also, just in the benchmark will the gpu hit a constant 99% (100%) usage. So, my question is whether or not the problem lies in the 980 itself. If the problem lies in elsewhere (like in the the driver or something), then I can take my time to solve, but if the problems lies in the gpu, then I need to maybe consider an RMA, and the clock is ticking for that (at least for New egg). Q: Does the fact that my benchmark scores with the gpu are good prove that it is in perfect functioning condition, or is there still a possiblilty that there is a problem with the card itself?
Here is a picture of my gpu usage when I play BF3.
