I then realised that after my recent driver update the Nvidia control panel power management mode was set to Optimal power rather than my usual Prefer maximum. Nvidia Profile Inspector typically sees maintenance updates released every couple of months, keeping it aligned with changes introduced in newer versions of the drivers, although the project were seemingly on a hiatus between Januand November 13, 2022. Normally I would see the GPU Core clock speed at 1980 Mhz all the time and the GPU Core % around 80-85% & temps about 70C in that type of scenery.Īs you can see it shows the core running at 1230Mhz with 95% and the temps down at 53C. Taking a look at Open hardware monitor I saw thisįor those of you not familair with open hardware monitor, the first column is the current value, the 2nd column the minimum and the 3rd column the Max value recorded. I thought maybe it was due to the amounts of cloud being rendered etc… But when I finally flew into some clear areas with only a few clouds on the horizon it was still showing 95-99%. I was up at 11,000 feet with live weather on with lots of clouds. Today I was flying along over the Swiss alps in my Cessna Caravan and noticed my GPU was pegged at 95-99% core usage.
I know a lot of people advocate running GPU at 100% but I don’t agree with that, and prefer to have a little bit of spare capacity for when I go into more demanding areas and it keeps my GPU about 7C lower in temp than 100%. This usually sees me running with about 80-85% GPU core usage and temps about 65-75C. I usually have my FPS limited to 33fps (more recently at 40fps with last Nvidia driver) in the Nvidia control panel and have Vsync set to fast in there also. I keep a close eye on my CPU & GPU performance (using open hardware monitor software) after trying a bit of tweaking or after driver updates etc… Optimal Mode, if my cursory research on the interwebs tells me, is the GPU doesn't re-render frames if nothing happened. In any case, for a laptop, Adaptive Mode isn't any better than Optimal Mode if the options exist. Like many suggestions I’ve seen in posts elsewhere on this forum I’ve always had it set to Prefer maximum performance. I've had several laptops with switchable graphics and I don't recall any of them having issues with performance. Thanks for the help.I’ve just been experimenting with the Power managment mode in the Nvidia control panel.īear with me on this one, it’s a lengthy example but I’d welcome any thoughts on this, and it may be of help to some of you. Are you sure my cpu is throttling? I have an asrock 990fx extreme9 btw. No my cpu can't hold 4.4ghz always it usually drops to 4.3 and 4.2 but it's really close to 4.4. What motherboard make and model do you have? Set the highest performance mode available to ensure that you are getting the best out of your card. What is the problem?ĭoes your cpu manage to hold 4.4Ghz constantly while games are running? Power Management Modes: You should set the power mode to its highest performance settings as I mentioned earlier, power modes can make an enormous difference in your graphic card’s performance. No the gpu does not run at 90-100% constantly, it drops a lot in demanding areas something like 40-65%. Its more a case of, is the GPU running at 90-100% constantly in the game? Yeah but doesn't a bottleneck appear when some cores are at 100%? I have an asrock 990fx extreme9 btw. For Power mode, choose the Best performance for the highest. The 9370 is just an overclocked 8350 and it cannot keep up with a gpu like a 1070. To change the power mode, select Start > Settings > System > Power & battery. Regardless of throttling, your CPU will def be bottlenecking that GPU in many games. How can I make sure that my cpu is not throttling? The 3D Settings tab on the left-hand side of the Nvidia Control Panel is arguably the most important when it comes to gaming, but it’s equally important for. CPU temps are fine however the 9370 is notorious for causing mobo VRM overheating in all but the very best AM3+ boards. Open the NVIDIA Control Panel and navigate to the following path: 3D Settings> Manage. I would make sure your cpu is not throttling. 2 Change the Power Management and Vertical Sync settings. GTA V just does not make very good use of FX processors, it could still be holding back your gpu even though no cores are at 100% usage. Your CPU is likely the cause of your low gpu usage. Not sure what you think this is going to do for you, it just forces the gpu to be at it's base clock or higher at all times, it wont increase gpu usage. Right click on your desktop, open nvidia control panel, select manage 3d settings on the left, change power management mode from optimal power to prefer maximum performance.
