GPU usage going to 60% whenever there's something that takes more power (explosions etc) shouldn't it go up to 99-100%?

Helling · Jan 30, 2016

When playing BF4, I'm experiencing FPS-drops whenever there's explosions aiming out and things that requires more power, and my question is why the GPU usage goes below 60% whenever it should be 99-100% whenever there's explosions etc.

It bothers me, and I wonder if it's logical or just some issue within the software. Because I have a weak memory of it not being so when I had my MSI gaming 5 mb, but it first appeared when I got my new ASUS Z97-A.

Those issues are very difficult to fix with Battlefield 4. Low GPU usage, exclusively in Battlefield 4, basically can't be fixed and is very specific to your system that can't even be solved. Some guy with exactly the same specs won't have the issue you described yet you're stuck with it.

Always me... Using a $550 gpu and can't even get all of it..

If your GPU was at 100% you'd be getting all sorts of freezing and stuttering. Think of your CPU Usage on your computer. If it's stuck at 100%, you can't hardly do anything...

VEEEEEERRRRYYYYY WRONG.

100% GPU Usage = Maximum utilization = Best possible performance from the card.

That's like the complete opposite of a bottleneck you seem to be going to with that.

Perhaps though it sometimes dropping to 60% is normal with explosions, although I'm sure it shouldn't make that big of an impact.

Okay guys, I think I've might have fixed it. I tried reparing the game, and as it looks like right now, it seems to be working, going to play some more to see if it really fixed it!

What are you system specs?

4690K, EVGA 980, EVGA G2 750W...

My friend who sometimes has low GPU usage or simply poor performance in BF4 for unknown reasons also has an i5-4690k and a G2 750 watts power supply. GPU first he had GTX 970 SLI, now GTX 980 Ti.
