[SOLVED] task manager is showing only about 2% gpu usage on games

[le chonkè]

Okay so,
I run a amd ryzen 3 1300X with a geforce gtx 1050 ti from EVGA and I have 16 GB's of ram.

when I start up for example RDR2 my task manager shows that RDR2 only uses 2% of my GPU, but at the same time my CPU is getting like 50% usage.
I've tried a few thing to fix it but nothing seems to work or be the same. I really don't know what the problem is, can anyone help me with this?

do you have issue with the game or just the inaccurate of the task manager usage?

Its probably a bug it happened to me with many new games like call of duty modern warfare but the games actually run as supposed. Maybe use a third party program to monitor the gpu usage and not the task manager.

msi afterburner says it's using way more but my fps is kind of garbage so I should probaly get better hardware then?

Well task manager is not a problem. Because i recently bought rdr2 i just run it now with RTX 2080 i get 4% gpu usage from task manager too but the game runs really smooth. This game is well know especially when released that had poor performance and many bugs, crashes and gtx 1050 ti is not the strongest graphics card.

I do have a better pc with a gtx 1060 6gb which I can use soon again will it run on that?

Yes , 1060 6gb is a far better gpu. Unless you play at 1080p i dont believe you will have any problem.
