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 ?

If that is the case
the benchmark should run terrible
A virus ?
What is the CPU activity in IDLE
And run the benchmark again just in case

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.

What screen resolution?

ICharger · 28 Dec 2017 at 13:32

1920x1080 on monitors.

What's changed since the last time you ran the benchmark? I'm assuming you're not running it for no reason, but that you've made a hardware/configuration change or have noticed a drop in game performance.

Can you get MSI afterburner or your GPU monitoring/tweaking software of choice and look at what the GPU core/member.php speeds are during load?

At 1920x1080 and depending on your CPU and GPU, more information can be processed by the CPU this could be the case if the CPU you have is a slow CPU. When teting this on an AMD APU A10 7850k compared to an Intel I3 with a 960 and 980 GPU the CPU untilisation was a lot higher on the AMD than on the CPU and my score was about 1000 - 1200 points more on the I3 than the A10 7850K. This was also running at 1920x1080.

If this was running better before i would check the temp of the CPU and make sure that is not throttling, like wise for the GPU. Somthing like HWInfo can help check your sensors on your system and show what tempratures you are getting. also GPUz can help with sensor information on your GPU.

Are you getting any instability with the system?

The only two things that I changed were intalling a new gpu , which it was working great, then on christmas day I installed a new exhaust fan and put my monitors on a stand.

Under load ie. Valley Benchmark , while running Cpuz the core doesn't move at 569mhz and with msi afterburner the gpu usage is 19.

Temps on the cpu are stable at 40C and usage under load is ranging from 70-100 percent.

My system seems ok apart from this issue.

Whoops. I was logged into my sons account.

Why would the account your logged into make any difference?

I think he means he posted under wrong name on here.

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.

mattyfez · 28 Dec 2017 at 19:03

Ah OK lol!
As you were gentlemen. Nothing to see here.

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.

mattyfez · 28 Dec 2017 at 19:07

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?

David Bisset · 28 Dec 2017 at 19:13

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

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.

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.
