Low gpu usage/fps drop
Hi all! I am having some problems with my gtx 780 that I have paired with my 4670k at 4.2 . When I was playing bf4 I noticed at some points my frame rate was going down so I pulled up msi afterburner and was seeing my gpu usage going from 99% all the way down to 53% for no reason and its always jumping around. The same thing for Batman Arkham Origins when gliding around gpu usage and fps are down. If anybody has had this problem and know what is wrong please help!

Gpu never goes above 62.


Do you have an old GPU you can plug into the system and see if you are still getting low usage?

Gpu never goes above 62.

Okay just played some more bf4 today and the cpu was running at around 98% the whole time with bf4 using about 88-95%. I monitored the temps using HWiNFo64 and the max was reported 74 degrees so thats seems fine.


High temperatures don't seem to be an issue for the CPU but what about the GPU?

Ill try the task manager thing next time I play. The temps on the gpu never go beyond 62c at 99% usage the cooler is amazing and the cpu is being cooled by a h80i I haven't monitored it in game but will try next time but I don't think its a problem.


Okay let me know the results. I also have a 4670 and a corsair cooler and it does wonders. I agree it's probably not a cooling issue either, although it is a possibility. We'll try and narrow down the factors.
