So i'm using an Acer Predator Helios 300 and it's pretty recently bought. When i checked Task Manager, it says that my GPU is utilised at 9% only. Is there anything wrong?

    the GTX is the one that is at 9%. I already put all the settings to use the GTX and not the Intel but still at 9%-10%

    Do your games lag as well because of low GPU utilization?

    Can you use HWiNFO to check both CPU and GPU temperatures, while gaming?
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.

    Yes, I do notice some form of low fps even on low settings on these games. For example, in GTA V 1080p but lowest settings, I run at around 50FPS which i believe is underperforming. As for CSGO, I run at around 100FPS on 1080p lowest settings which is still pretty good but again, underperforming. As a reply to ven98, the temperatures of both CPU and GPU usually comes at a range from 65-85 degrees celcius.

    Would you mind trying to do a clean install?
