Getting low GPU usage/Low FPS in game

Hey ŦĂŚŤ420,

It looks like there are TDR errors showing in the DxDiag, which may indicate a problem with the video drivers, hardware or a conflict with something else in the computer.

While you mentioned already reinstalling the graphics driver, let’s try using the third party software DDU just to be safe, which can help remove all older driver files that can frequently cause problems.

You can find a guide on using this program here. After this, pick up the latest driver from here. Run the installer and select the Nvidia Driver option only.

Once the driver install has finished, change the Nvidia settings so that the game is using the Nvidia card:
• Right click on the desktop and launch NVIDIA Control Panel → Manage 3D settings.
• Go to Program Settings tab.
• Select the game to change the graphics processor under “Select a program to customize”. If it’s not is not available, select the specific game from the drop down list.
• Select your “Prefer maximum performance” graphics card under “Power management”.

Then reset the game settings to set everything back to default.
