Guide to Fix GPU Usage

Problem

If you’re like me, noticed a weird smell in the room, opened your Task Manager and saw this: 100% GPU…

…then hopefully this guide should be able to help you get rid of that situation.

The GPU I’m using is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB.

How to Fix

What I did was:

• Go to the NVIDIA Control Panel.

• Go to 3D settings, select Program Settings.

• Select the game.

Scroll down to Max Frame Rate, set it to 58 FPS (60 Hz monitor, so I’m going for 2 FPS below the cap, set your own FPS based on your own monitor’s refresh rate / preference).

Now my GPU usage is mainly around 40-60%, it sometimes jumps to about 80-95%, but not that often.

Compared to the previous constant 100%, this is not that bad.
