Low GPU Usage (1080)

[smogsy]

anyone else seeing this?
using 368.39 drivers
So on my 980SLI i pretty much always saw 90%+ GPU usage.
On my 1080 Im seeing Max of 75% usage.
Games tested
Witcher 3 @ 4K Maxed
Overwatch @ 4K + 150% scaling Epic settings.


now to verify this i turned off gsync to ensure the GPU could push as hard as possible.
im getting 70FPS in overwatch &
50ish in Witcher 3.

however as i stated earlier the GPU usage is only 75%
For people who might say your CPU is bottleneck
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5930K CPU @ 3.50GHz
Most cares are at 75% so lot more room left in the tank.

anyone else notice this? Maybe nvidia not unlocked the true power of Irresponsible performance?

just interested if anyone else has noticed.

Even I would still suggest overclocking that cpu to get better single core performance for games that rely more on single core performance over proper multithreading. You are still using heavy settings and 4k res that should limit most of possible cpu bottlenecks.

- I want to ask you what are you using to monitor your gpu usage? And if you have updates those softwares to new versions that include proper support for 1080.

MSI afterburner and i have.

All cores are 75% ish

MSI afterburner and i have.

All cores are 75% ish

All cores? There is only one GPU core.....

Cpu

Both gpu and CPU cores are 75%

Highest CPU is 80%

80% CPU usage in TW3 is too high. At 5160*2160 which is 4k Ultra Wide, my setup pushes 45fps with everything maxed... and both GPUs are 99% with the CPU at 25%.

Is an individual core(s) at 100% possibly?

I will recheck. I was looking at max % will have to retest

i found the issue i must have miss clicked, i was monitoring power usage lol

ps TW3 using 25% as you stated, i just saw max and used that but seem that happens when opening Hwmonitor
