GTX1070 card not utilized fully

[Hoggorm]

Hi,

 

When flying online I see that my GPU is not being utilized to the full potential at all times.

 

Please see the following screenshot:

 

 

I've been researching CPU temperature and usage, but it is within limits in addition to that sometime later the GPU is indeed running at 99%.

 

It is somewhat frustration thought having 27FPS when the GPU is only at 59 and CPU at 43%...

 

Any ideas?

 

My computer specs are as follows:

 

 

Intel Core i7-3820 Processor

Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 16GB CL9

Corsair HX 850W PSU

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 WINDFORCE OC, 8GB GDDR5

Was that in 2.5.0?

I found that 2.5.1 seems to making better use of my CPU and GPU capabilities.

[Hoggorm]

It is in the latest Open Beta. 2.5.1

 

I just stumble upon the Vsync setting and it appears to have an effect.

 

Vsync On gives variable GPU usage well below 60 FPS.

Vsync Off gives 98-99% GPU usage often above 80 FPS. But with tearing...

Try turning vsync off within DCS, and use FAST vsync in the nvidia control panel. See if that makes much of a difference.

 

Regards

Hi !

 

When you say your cpu reach 43%, you mean the cpu package or the core the most utilized ?

43% of that CPU means all your real cores are full at work but one of them, that one only does about 50%. 3 x Full Tilt and 1 x Half Tilt.

 

Your CPU is the bottleneck, very simple.

Indeed, it did :)

 

With the settings suggested the GPU is now running at about 80-99% basically all the time. Framerate is above 60 in single player and somewhat less in multiplayer.

 

Thank you. I think I'll go for this for now :)

Glad it worked . I've tinkered around with those settings and was pleasantly surprised with the results for my medium spec rig.

 

Cheers!

Bottleneck!

 

I have bottleneck as well

 

I just can't play with many objects on map (read: units)

 

7-10 planes for 60 stable FPS with NVIDIA Vsync on high preset

 

It looks I have to buy new MB, CPU and RAM :/

More microstuttering here and there, as rendering-vs-displaying ratio of frames is all over the place, but whether it's a noticeable problem depends on subjective preferences.

[Elliottc26]

if you haven't already, see about getting a 144hz monitor that has a 1ms response rate for higher FPS. 60hz = 60FPS max

[Insonia]

Because thats how vsync works...

GPU has to wait refresh before it can proceed next frame.
