My Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 12GB started to be used A LOT on the computer, more than 80% in Minecraft. I installed the 2022 update that fixed this BUG, ​​but it didn't change much. What should I do?

High usage is not a problem. Please elaborate

My computer was freezing in Minecraft with the high use of the video card. And also my video card has never used that much percentage since I bought it almost 2 months ago. I'm going to clean my computer today and see if that solves anything, I hope.

Please list a full spec sheet, and if you use a mod launcher or mod list or mod pack.

#

Also, run this

#

The demo is enough. Simply post the result here.

Time to list the rest of the specs

Don't forget to run the 3DMark test to check if your PC is working fine though.

@worldly sonnet The problem hasn't been resolved, I don't know if it's a bug and the driver update hasn't been released yet. But it still appears that my video card is being used a lot on occasions when it wasn't used that way, and this bug is happening in the Task Manager.

Task Manager is known to sometimes not be able to produce accurate stats

sometimes it went to 30 but came back

Please run this in sensors-only mode and post contents of the entire thing here.

  • Make sure a game is actively running. Any game that pauses or drops FPS intentionally when tabbed out doesn't work.
  • Also screenshot CPU stats.

I'd just ignore it if the % is less than 5

I contacted NVidia Support via live chat and they told me to download something that removes all the old drivers and they also told me to download the latest one and do the clean update

I also think it's normal but sometimes I also think not, because it's supposed to be powerful and I don't know if using the video card a lot for something simple makes it weak.

#

Video cards are either idle or utilized. There's no such thing as overuse.

#

Less use, less power used. More use, more power used. How much use? That'll depend on how fast the CPU can feed the GPU, and if you have set any limits (either with FPS caps, Reflex, or vsync)

#

Up until the GPU usage hits >=95%, at which point it can't run any faster

#

even then the performance won't crash down. instead your frame rate will start to drop

#

What is the difference between FPS, Reflex and vsync?

worldly sonnet
#

If you set a frame limit, the GPU will only render as fast as the frame limit allows, or until the GPU is maxed out in usage, whichever comes first. This does not guarantee that the frames generated will be in time with the display refresh

If vsync is turned on, the GPU will only scan out in sync with the display refresh. This also implicitly caps the frame rate to the display's maximum refresh rate.

If you have an adaptive sync (g-sync/freesync) display, vsync behaviour changes. The GPU will command the display to immediately refresh as soon as it can give the frame to it. Keep in mind that it is still bound to the maximum refresh rate limit, but latency should now be a lot better.

NVIDIA Reflex will automatically cap the frame rate to a number slightly below your display refresh if using an adaptive sync display and vsync is on.
