[SOLVED] MY GPU IS ALMOST ALWAYS ON 0 % USAGE

[AbbasRy]

hello,
iam using gtx 1070 8gb oc with i7 7700 and 32 gb ram
previous i was having 16 gb ram, i change my ram brand , after that while in game play i noticed that my gpu usage is zero always , i delete riva tuner and check my task manager is always 0 % not just in game. can you help me how to fix it?
thanks..

Are you experiencing problems in game? I don't think its abnormal for a gpu to be at zero when not in a game (I think your computer will use the integrated graphics in your cpu to save power when no heavy lifting is needed) and rivatuner could just be messing up. I'd suggest running furmark and see what your readings are.

it cause some fps drop, and i put my gpu to run always, i dont have another gpu in my cpu, i just have one gpu gtx 1070

also iam putting my power at high performance, but it still the same 0%

Your processor does have integrated graphics, you can check this by possibly going to task manager and looking for a gpu 1 or going to the nvidia control pannel->3d settings and clicking on the select which gpu to use as default (I think its called something like that.) Also, have you tried running a stress test to see if that raises your gpu usage? It is quite possible that your games are using the iGPU for some reason and that is causing your problem.

There is no i7-700, looks like there must be a missing digit before the 700 there. It does sound like you are probably running on the IGP instead of GTX1070.

Id assume its an i7-7700 which has an Intel 630HD iGPU

sorry its i7 7700 , i wrote 700 by mistake

Have you run furmark yet? I believe the reason that your gpu is at zero on desktop is due to it usibg the iGPU. In games if it's at zero your are also probably using the iGPU. If not, then somethings wrong software or hardware wise (prob software tho). Please run furmark and tell me what happens with your gpu usage.

Also in games there should be a place where you can select which gpu to use in the settings. Make sure thats on the 1070
