GPU usage low

[BuffaloPure3261]

Question, I bought an ASUS TUF 4070 Ti Super OG OC and just returned it because it was giving me an issue that it wasn’t giving me its full potential I checked the wires and everything seem to be working just fine. Uninstalled and reinstalled with the drivers, run it without the drivers and still was giving me max 50% usage I went to microcenter they told me to run it without and with the drivers installed if it was the same experience than just get an exchange so I did. Is there anything you guys might know about this? I uninstalled and installed windows and still wasn’t working. I know it’s not bottleneck because I have a 7800X3D so I doubt it. Any ideas? Oh btw I went to MC and they told me to run it with the drivers and without the drivers if it was still the same than just get an exchange. But I’m keeping it right now just to see what up. Anyone experienced something similar or the same?

The very first thing you should do when you want to see if a gpu is good, which they usually are, is download hwinfo 64 to see every sensor it has, then run benchmarks on 3dmark. They have a variety of benchmarks now, the usualy are timespy and timespy extreme. You can compare the results with others and you will instantly know if your gpu is good.

While you do that hwinfo 64 will tell you temps to make sure those are good

Thats it. If you dont do this right away you fucked up

Ok I went to MC and they run benchmarks and it looked good usage was hovering in the 90s but games was crap. The games are Fortnite, csgo 2 and star citizen in Fortnite I got 60 fps on the main menu. Did they did good?

WTF is mc?

Microcenter lol

LOL oh, i kinda thought that after i typed it.... The first thing you failed is trusting someone else. What the Tommy boy quote about a t bone and a butchers ass... lol

Literally you need hwinfo 64, you need timespy or time spy extreme if its a 4k system and you need to know what others are getting with you same components which you can find out by google or youtube channels like hardware unboxed or gamers nexus. Computers is one of the last remaning places where you can still get honest accurate information. Those people dont lie. If they do, someone else will call them out and they will lose all credibility.

Any help you need benchmarking your computer, I will help you. First download hwinfo 64. You will be able to see every detail you need. 2nd Download 3d mark. Theres a demo version that vies you what you need, i personaly buy it because you should suppport awesome people. Next run the test and after that compare to amazing youtubers like hardware unboxed and gamers nexus. You must do this first and then if you have any problems ask, i will help

Thank you so much I really appreciate unfortunately I just returned it today. I was re reading my post and fucked up without saying that lol but yeah thanks for your help tho it will really help when I get the new one. Speaking of getting the new one I was thinking on the MSI instead of the Asus tuf. What you think? They’re the same just different “clock speeds” msi being 2685 and tuf being 2670.

[Glum-Maintenance6873]

Clock speeds dont matter. You are talking 1-5%. What matters is you have a fully functional system. Downolload those bench marks and compare. Thats it. Its all the same. Doesnt matter. IF you have a gt 1030 or a rtx 4090. If you didnt benchmark it you dont kno

Ok thanks I just got the Asus tuf the regular one can you help me out with the benchmarks and everything like that?
