Re: Extremely Irregular and Low GPU usage

@SinyorApu

Can you try using DirectX12 rather than 11 and let us know how that goes please?

I did, when you try to join a server, the game starts the loading image and then crashes.

I have also noticed this irregular GPU and CPU usage. I have an i5 6500 and an RX 480 with the latest AMD drivers. I keep frames capped at 72 using the in-game limiter (for freesync monitor with 75hz cap). In multiplayer games when I get frames below 72 (in many tight situations on small maps) my CPU and GPU usage do not hit 100%. Typically my GPU usage is around 50% while CPU stays around 85%. I've also tried uncapping my framerate and I still see low GPU utilization and CPU around 80%. I've tried with both FFR on and off.

DX12 also results in an error-less crash to desktop on starting a game, either single player or multi-player. Menu loads fine, but on starting a game always a crash. DX11 runs decently, but I was hoping DX12 would fix the utilization issues.

I was in your situation, now i have even less FPS, it drops to 39-49 fps ... I don't know what to do... ☹️

If you guys are on Windows 10, can you let us know if the October update helps you with this please?

Im having low GPU usage onj i77700k + 1060 6GB 12GB RAM DDR4. I'm getting 70 - 90 frames, and neither gpu and GPU usage is 100% they are under 60% what could it be. im getting normal frames/ gpu usage on every other game. Image attached is on 720p but I was playing at 1080p its because the file is too large at 1080p so I had to lower the pixels.

I've checked and windows is fully updated with the October release, and I have also updated my AMD drivers to 18.11.2. In DX12 mode sometimes the game crashes without errors on menu loading, and it always crashes loading into a game. I don't get any errors for this either.
