Hi so my new 1070 is not behaving like i expect, so i started watching it with afterburner.
Basically i am seeing gpu usage dropping by varying amounts depending on the circumstance, and this is causing framerate to be lower than it should be capable of.
Example, some times in fallout 4 gpu usage is 99-100% and all is fine getting 80+ fps at 1440p ultra on 144hz monitor. Then when i go to a certain place the fps will drop and remain at 25 - 35. I know fallout is badly optimised. But my gpu usage % has now dropped to about 50% or something, and if it stayed at 100% i would not be getting such low fps?
That is just one example, im seeing similar behaviour in other games as well (Normal core clock boost speeds, low gpu usage ranging from 50-70% and fps lower than what it should be).
The gpu core clock stays high durimg these times at around 1900mhz so it is not thermal throttling. Temps of gpu are around 70 - 75 degreesC under load.
Spec: i5 4690k stock
8gb ram
Gtx 1070
Z97 mobo
144hz 1440p monitor
600w psu
I ran unigine valley to see if i could replicate it there. Most of the time the gpu usage stayed at 100%.
But you know in games if you look at the sky you get fps boost? Well in unigine valley if i look at the sky i get a drop in gpu usage %, and the max fps of 126. But my monitor is 144hz and vsync is disabled so why not stay at 100% and create more frames?
Anybody have an idea what is happening, have i got a bad card?
