Low GPU and CPU Utilization


Recommended Posts

I can't get my GPU and CPU usage any higher than what is indicated in screenshots below. It's the same over ocean, land and at JFK, although FPS takes a nose dive at JFK. Is this an optimization issue with the sim or is there some setting in MSFS or Nvidia that will increase usage and allow me to get more fps? Graphic settings are a mixture of medium and high, Live traffic and weather.

 

The CPU and GPU are not working very hard. Would like to see GPU around 90% usage.

 

CPU: I7-8700

GPU: GTX 1080 overclocked

Nvidia Control Panel: Power Mgmt-Max Perf, Texture Filtering-High

With 8 cores, my CPU usage is about 17-18% (I take that back, after the last update that went up to 23-24%). The program only really works about 2 cores, the others are just running background tasks and loafing. My GPU usage is higher, but I am running about 115% more pixels 1980x1200.

At anything over 30 fps, the program seems quite smooth. I think you are fine!

You may want to take a look at the sofly manual for sale on here. It has some good ideas to help with this and many other things.

It seems that I`ve fixed my problem.I went on ultra settings and unlocked V synch...Now my GPU and CPU runs like dream.

@BorisMarkus

Does "unlocked V sync" mean that you enabled it or disabled it?
