Nvidia low GPU usage

Post by fewimix »

Hello,

I'm using a laptop with an Intel 11800H CPU and Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti GPU.

My 3050 Ti normally operates at ~1800 Mhz when gaming. For OpenMW, however, if I use the 3050 Ti I get ~40 fps outdoors because my GPU clock is stuck around ~210 Mhz. (The Intel iGPU has even lower performance.)

I'm unable to get openmw.exe to fully use my 3050 Ti.

Possibly you can tell your OS and drivers to prefer maximum performance, and maybe set a higher performance power profile - it's possible that for whatever reason, your drivers are prioritising battery life over performance, perhaps because they've not realised OpenMW is a game.
