[SOLVED] Low GPU Usage

[Joler07]

I have been recently experiencing low GPU usage and getting less frames than normal.

This is my benchmark test: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/47090420

I am currently using a Ryzen 5 5600X and a 3060ti - https://rog.asus.com/us/graphics-ca...g-strix/rog-strix-rtx3060ti-o8g-gaming-model/ - https://www.microcenter.com/product...m4-boxed-processor-with-wraith-stealth-cooler

I have 32 gb of ram (4x8) and it was performing in the 10th percentile. I used to get 100-90% gpu usage and then it suddenly dropped to 30% without warning.
Almost my entire pc is underperforming and I am looking for some guidance. Any help would be appreciated.

is your RAM running the XMP profile?

Yes it is. Is there anything else that could be the problem? I also ran a second benchmark, seems that the cpu and ram are performing way below potential. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/47101393

Your RAM is only running at 2133MHz, you say you've enabled XMP but it doesnt look like it, have you tried re-enabling it in BIOS?

Thank you so much, I re-enabled it in BIOS and then I ran a benchmark and it performed much better. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/47117830

no worries

I'm stilling getting very little Gpu usage in game though... around 30-40%. And then there's the occasionally 100% spikes in task manager. Is this normal? It happens while running minecraft with high shaders which mainly is using one core that is reaching 100% frequently. Bottleneck?
I also run valorant which gets around 50% usage on average, but it seems to go to 100% spike, then go down and spike back up again. I'm not sure if this is normal or not.
Never reaching 90-100% percent gpu usage not matter what game it is.

I cant imagine the 5600X is bottlenecking your 3060ti, it's a very capable cpu but I am unsure what is causing your issues? Hopefully someone more experienced can jump in and advise you further. Good luck!

Try using DDU to clean and re-install your GPU drivers.
What are your CPU Temps? try monitoring them in game or in a benchmark
