Why is my GPU utilization so low while gaming?
Asked by

I'm currently using a 5070 TI graphics card paired with a Ryzen 5 9600X processor. When I play The Witcher 3 at ultra settings with DLSS set to balanced, I'm observing around 50% to 60% utilization on my CPU but only 30% to 40% on my GPU. I'm curious about what this might indicate and how I can improve the GPU utilization during gameplay.

Make sure to check what power your GPU is drawing. If it's not tapping into its full potential, it might indicate a power limit is being reached elsewhere. You could also verify whether your drivers are up to date.

It looks like you're getting decent FPS (80-90) at 1440p, but your GPU isn't being fully utilized. This can happen due to a few reasons like CPU bottlenecking or power limits on the GPU. What resolution are you playing at?
