I bought an rtx 3050 a week ago, and I have low GPU usage spikes..
It works for like 10minute and then it starts to only utilize my GPU about 40-50%

Also checked hardware info, and it looks like the GPU is not using the same amount of power than before (drops from 108% TDP to 67% TDP)

PSU: 600 watt EVGA
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x
MotherBoard: MSI B450 Tomahawk max

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

PSU: 600 watt EVGA
EVGA is the brand of the PSU, while 600W is the advertised wattage of the unit. How old is the PSU?

As for your build, what GPU were you working with prior to the RTX3050? Did you remove all GPU drivers from your platform using DDU prior to removing the older GPU from the build?

My old card was a MSI 1050 ti
The PSU is 1year old
I did remove all the drivers with DDU in safe mode.
Also tried to install older drivers, but they didnt work either (the issue was still there)

use GPU-z, msi afterburner to monitor GPU usage, aside from the task manager

also check windows power plan, set it to high performance

I did all of those, but nothing changed..

also if this helps to identify the issue: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (MS-7C02) Performance Results - UserBenchmark
