GPU is not working at full power

Post by ZoarMT »

Hello, my GPU while it is folding uses no more the 15% load. I don't know if this is normal. If it's not normal, please tell me how to fix this. I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti if that helps.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

That seems abnormal. How are you seeing 15%? Windows or Linux? Is your CPU fully used?

How are you checking the power? Try GPUZ if you can. Some monitors do not understand compute usage and exclude it from their report.

@Jesse_v I am using NZXT Cam for monitoring, my OS is Windows, and yes my CPU is fully loaded.

@davidcoton Can you familiarize with GPUZ, I don't know what that is.
