Let me expand a bit with a few words.

I’m not totally sure if other gamers are the same but I feel the need to fine tune resource intensive games more than less because I care about the longevity of my hardware.
I hope starting with this comment leads to more advanced discussion because I’m unable to spend my free time relaxing in the a/c to a good game because the responses I’ve gotten this past 8 or 9 hours of troubleshooting just boiled down to this absolute gem of a coherent human analysis- “ Game maxing out your pc components is a good thing, that means everything is being used as it should.”.


To not waste anyone’s time including my own I’ll get right to the issue I’m dealing with.

Cyberpunk specifically took me some time in the benchmark to really zero in on the intensity to my computer. Maybe 70 hours gametime and nothing to complain about,

Beyond acceptable frames, amazing smack dab in the middle resource intensity.

Supposedly crashing is common in cyberpunk? Me personally have had three or four. And they showed up closer to now than earlier in the story of the game.

Two days ago began an unsolvable mystery as to why games I play now are using ALL of my card? And roughly 20/30 percent more processing power? Something is wrong and I’ve gone down to checking .ini ‘s to get any sort of let up.

Cyberpunk specifically has my card maxed out on resources regardless of map location. I’ve even had some fun messing with default settings such as Ultra/RT/DLAA also every setting to low. Nothing is changing that this game and cs2 are now %100 ing my card whereas two days ago my stat sheet looked like this consistently—>

CPU-60/70
GPU-50/70

The only logical research I’ve came across in 9 hours is perhaps a driver update thinking the integrated graphics needs to be used//mobo thinks gpu is in wrong slot

Disabled integrated, no budge.
I’m lost here on what else I can try it seems like I’ve done it all.
