Microsoft Solitaire Collection maxxes RTX 3090

Quartz · 19 Jun 2021 at 20:21

On my i5-11400 RTX 3090 system if I run Microsoft Solitaire my RTX 3090 goes to 100%. What is happenning?

All drivers are up to date and Windows 10 is fully patched and up to date.

Your GPU isn't good enough you need to upgrade.

Maybe try the new windows 11 everyone is banging on about. That might fix your problem.

I have had issues with the drivers not dropping the clock speed so the speed was always maxed out and fans didn't stop, had to reinstall the drivers, had this a couple of times so may be something similar, corrupt drivers. Not getting it with solitaire on my machine

Can I rub it in, Microsoft Solitaire only uses 1% on my GTX 660. :cry:

Have you Googled it?

Give this a go;

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer

Open the 32bit one. Click View > Select Columns > GPU and check the boxes next to whatever you'd like to watch: GPU Usage, GPU Private Data, GPU Committed Bytes, or GPU Shared Bytes

Check see if anything else is grabbing onto the processes.

Heh. Yes. And there's nothing beyond the usual reinstall crap when this is a fresh install.

This is a serious Solitaire 'Crysis' Have you turned off Ray Tracing :cry:

Sorry.

My 2080ti is hovering at about 15/20% if that helps.

The GPU’s going nuts trying to calculate why you have no friends to play with

Okay, it was over 70% just now, not 100%

And two CPU cores at 100% too!
