Question Underutilization issue with RTX 3070 graphics card on certain games (PUBG, RDR1 Pc and many other)

[GPU burner]

Hello everyone,

I’m experiencing performance issues with some games on my PC, and despite researching and trying various solutions, I still haven’t found an answer. I’m hoping some of you might be able to help me figure this out!

Configuration:
• Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 3900
• Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
• RAM: 32 GB


Issue:
In games like Red Dead Redemption 2, my graphics card runs at about 97%, which gives me excellent performance. However, in other games like PUBG or the original Red Dead Redemption, my graphics card is only utilized around 30%, resulting in very poor in-game performance.

Tests and solutions I’ve already tried:
• Updating graphics drivers
• Reinstalling the games and graphics driver
• Checking power settings to ensure “High performance” mode is enabled in Windows and NVIDIA 3D settings
• Checking the graphics settings within the games

I’ve also reset Windows to see if that would fix the issue, but unfortunately, the problem remains.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Reinstalling the games and graphics driver
Please elaborate this point. Did you use DDU to remove all GPU drivers in Safe Mode, then manually reinstalling the latest GPU driver in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator?
