My Gpu isn’t working when I play a game

[nickshea11]

My pc says that I am using a gtx 1060 6gb which is correct and I’ve tried everything for it to work when on games. I tried to play gta v and csgo but both games showed that my gpu wasn’t being used, I am super canfused at what is wrong, so if someone knows what could be wrong please help.

My pc specs:
- Amd Fx-6300 six core black edition
- 600w EVGA powersupply
- 16gb ddr3 g-skill ripjaw x
- MSI 970 gaming motherboard
- Zotac gtx 1060 6gb amp edition

The monitor is connected to the videocard correct? Then you are using the 1060. You'll need to be specific on what you mean by "both games showed that my gpu wasn’t being used".

Start with one game. What are you looking at when it 'shows' you what card is being used?
