Cpu Using more than GPU

ICharger · 27 Dec 2017 at 15:26

Ok , I am running Valley benchmark and my cpu is using far more than my Gpu.

Cpu is at 80% and gpu is at 15%

Im sure last time i ran it , my gpu was maxing out at 99%. Don`t know how to insert pic , Sorry

Any ideas ?

I've just reinstalled win7 and checked it again. The cpu is idling with about 20% load.
Fps in valley is 10fps and csgo is 20fps and that's running a geforce 1060.
I'm stuck.

1920x1080 on monitors.

When you did the changes.. Was it previously plugged into the gfx card and now is in mobo? Wondering if you're just running iGPU now for some reason.

The fan was plugged into the pwm hub. I have since taken the fan back out trying to problem solve.
I can't see that anything has changed. The card is only 3 weeks old as well. I did overclock it slightly but was running good.

Set card back to factory settings and update driver?
That's a all I can think of, it's a weird one.

Try some other graphics benchmarks, same issue?

I have tried a different benchmark and used msi Kombustor. The result has the gpu was 98% load with Fps 220 which is what I'm looking for but when I go to play a game like csgo everything has to be set to Low and I only get 15fps.

I meant where were the monitors plugged in before/after? Apologies, wasn't at all clear!

The monitors have always been plugged into to gpu.

Finally after all this time I found the fault.

It turned out to be the slow mode switch on the motherboard. When my son installed the hue + he must have knocked it.

All is good now.

Thanks everyone who supported me through this nightmare.
