GPU is not being properly used by the game

Specs:

i5 13600k
4070 super
m2 storage
32gb ram

I recorded a video with OBS + MSI to show the usage of the hardware

The nvidia driver is up to date, did a DDU reinstall as well

The game was running on quality settings, DLSS set for quality as well, 1080p

Experiencing huge dips in performance, some times even freezes upon fatalities or big explosions with some magic

Anyway, as seen in the video, the entire hardware is always underutilized and the performance is always bad. Gpu usually sticks to 40% (including the OBS recording, that some times may take from 10 to 20% of usage)

CPU hovers around 50 - 60% usage

VRAM 65%

RAm 60%

Game is installed on a M2 storage device

  • By the way, i just tested something that is really weird.

Turned off Vsync, uncapped FPS. Still same usage on GPU, still low fps and hardware not being used.

  • Went back to main menu

GPU usage jumps up to 100%, 200fps

go back in the game

GPU usage goes back to 30-60% with low fps and stutters

For some reason the game just refuses to use my gpu, even with uncapped fps.

Already tried using old drivers and the most recent as i said up there, dont have this issue in any other game, including MHWilds.

As seen its not a case of bottleneck since the CPU never really goes above 60% (even when taking OBS into consideration). None of the hardware is being utilized to its max potential.

By the way, that occurs in all areas of the game, its not exclusive to the nameless passage.

Anyway, hope it helps

tldr: gpu works fine in the menu but barelly gets any usage on the actual game
