GPU usage not at 99% w/ 10700kf @ 5.1ghz

[hasole]

Hi all

 

I've been trying the Hoggit Syria at war server starting on the carrier in a F-14B and with my 10700kf @ 5.1ghz/32gb ram and a 1080Ti, the GPU usage sits around 65%.

 

Windows is on ultimate performance, NCP is on max power.

 

If I'm on HAW it is generally 99% gpu usage.

 

My friend has a Ryzen 3700x/32gb ram/2080 and his will run his gpu at 99%.

 

Not sure if it is an Intel/Ryzen thing. 

 

I've tried using Process Lasso to force it to only use real cores and moving it to the last 4 real cores.  No difference.  I've unloaded all my apps no difference.

 

I would like to think I'm not cpu limited?

 

Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.

Ok, after a lot of tweaking.  It was having tacview on.  Turning it off, now my cpu smashes it.

So when you switch off tacview the CPU goes to 99% again? Are you in VR by any chance?

My CPU is also not using all, so wondering if the cause is the same. 

tnx

I was referring my GPU not running at 99% which usually means your are cpu limited as it can't feed your GPU enough.

In my case Tacview was using that much CPU that it wasn't pushing my GPU to make the pc GPU limited.

I just turn it on when I want the data.

One would think a 8c/16T modern CPU that is no slouch should handle them together...but as we can see, it does not.

I dont think this is per se standard as many have TacView installed and always running when using DCS.

 

Does it only happen online or do you have the same low GPU usage when flying offline with TacView ON ?

Isolated to multiplayer only.  Single player is fine with campaigns and TTI syria.

I just get the tacviews from the server if I want them like GAW, GS.

That sounds like a network/bandwidth issue to me.  Could be your end could be the server struggling or even both.
