[SOLVED] RTX 2060 GPU at 100% utilisation no matter the game.

[wack01]

No matter what game I run, my RTX 2060 sits at 100% utilisation (Nvidia performance overlay), making most games incredibly stutter-y, the settings I use in a game never change the utilisation and my CPU doesn't sit too high either (20% on average, 40-60% at the most). Even overlocking doesn't help, utilisation still sits at 100%, the recent game Cyberpunk ran pretty well, even better after the 1.04 patch, but now it too is suffering from the stutter (could get 50-60fps on average before, now its 40fps with massive drops to 10fps every 30 seconds or so).
Beat saber was the worst today, used to run perfectly but now every 10-20 seconds I have to pause it lest I fail the song due to lag.
My graphics drivers are fully up to date, no windows updates lurking.

Specs:
GPU: RTX 2060
CPU: intel i7 9750h
RAM: 16GB
Windows 10, 1tb SSD (2x 500GB).
(It is a laptop: Predator Triton 500)

what the gpu temp?

what the gpu temp?

It's not an issue of thermal throttling, gpu runs at a solid 70-80C, theres no drop in usage or temp with the lag.

Also what is the cpu temperature?

Is your RAM 2x8gb or 1x16gb?

Run userbenchmark and share the public link to the results.

It's a laptop. What are your CPU temps?

Roll the gpu drivers back 2 updates. There's been some mention of the last driver update being buggy for some ppl as it contains optimizations for Cyberpunk, which in itself is buggy. I got notice of a new driver update yesterday, so that might be an option too.

Run GPU-Z from tech power up, check the clocks vs what the card is supposed to be able to run. If the clocks are seriously stunted, that'd explain the high utilization.

Run malware scan, run ccleaner, run windows repair. Reseat the gpu.

You have options, but I'd start with the software/drivers first.
