Nvidia GT 635m using only 70Mb of VRam, not working 100%

[Azarax IV]

Hey guys, I have an Asus S46C, specs:
I7-3517U 1.90-2.40
Nvidia GForce GT 635m 2Gb
6Gb Ram
WIndows 10

With ALL LATEST UPDATES

The thing is, when i'm playing Diablo 3, GPU Usage is at 30-50%, CPU usage 40-50% and the most interesting part is that the VRAM usage never goes higher than 70Mb how to fix that?
I tried reinstalling the Drivers, turning off Intel Graphics, i'm out of ideas and desperate for help!

What resolution and detail settings are you running the game in? Also, this isn't a very demanding game. The minimum recommended GPU from Nvidia is a GeForce 7800 GT with 265 MB of VRAM. That and your 635m is pretty low end as well for a modern GPU. It probably isn't processing enough graphics info for it to require using more than 70-100 MB of VRAM. Your system RAM, though, should be much higher. If the game is running fine, I would just ignore it and enjoy the game.

Running all on low stil 15-30 fps is to low for this game it used to run 60 with no problem!

When it ran better, was that on Windows 10 also? Or 7/8.1?
What are you using to monitor the GPU load?
Are you absolutely sure your laptop isn't using the Intel HD 4000 instead?
If it is using the 635m, check the Nvidia control panel settings and GeForce Experience settings. Reset them all to default. In fact, I'd just erase the entire Nvidia driver suite, DL the latest (non-beta) driver from Nvidia's site and do a fresh install. Sometimes, the GeForce experience messes around with game settings and makes them worse. Go into its settings and disable it from automatically starting up and messing with any of the games.

It was on 8.1, I think it's not, i'm using GPU-Z and i have 2 GPU choices there and when i choose Nvidia one and start the game the %usage goes to 40%, will try to reinstall the drivers again but dubt it will help.

Now that you mention that it started performing worse after you began using Win 10, it is possible that Win 10 is messing with the drivers after you install them. If the driver for the Nvidia GPU in the Windows update is different than the one you install then Win 10 will install that one no matter what even if it doesn't work right. There is a tool called wushowhide that you can get from Microsoft that lets you choose what driver updates you want to prevent from automatically installing. If it is messing with the Nvidia drivers, just run this tool first, select anything for Nvidia and choose not to let it install and then re-do the drivers like normal.
