Why is the GPU not being used and CPU is being used a lot?(G3-571-77QK

Here is the CPU and GPU usage given in Predator Sense. I was playing Rainbow 6 Siege for this whole session (In medium settings and MAX fan speed). Why is the CPU is used a lot more than GPU. My GPU driver is updated to its latest version. Also is the temperature normal? Is everything you see here perfectly normal? And how can I make it use more GPU than CPU?

Do you have V-sync enabled in Rainbow 6 Siege? Because if you don't, the game will run on the CPU as fast as possible. Read here: https://rainbow6.ubisoft.com/siege/en-us/news/152-324640-16/100-cpu-usage

From that website:

Rainbow Six is designed to make the most out of multi-core CPUs. All processing that has to be done every frame is spread across the available cores on the host system. When v-sync is enabled, Rainbow Six finishes a frame’s processing fast enough that it will end up waiting for the v-sync to happen, therefore relinquishing it’s usage of the CPU cores so they may be used for other programs that are running on the PC at the same time (e.g. music player, voice chat software, etc.). If you disable v-sync you are essentially asking Rainbow Six to run as fast as possible with all the resources available on the PC. This means that there will be no wait period in the frame because processing of the next frame will start as soon as the current one is finished unless the game needs to wait for the GPU to finish its cycle. Which, in this scenario, the result is hitting (close to) a 100% CPU usage.

Also, note that this is more likely to happen with a powerful graphics card or lowering the graphics details.

Anyway, with the temperatures on both the CPU and GPU remaining that low, you're absolutely 100% perfectly fine. No need to worry.

Read these curves with attention. The red curve is temperature, the orange is usage. You see 0% because you just exit the game, but they were fluctuating before. See the red curve. It says null because the laptop just shut down the gpu since there's no more 3D loading.

Want to see it in real time? Play in windowed mode, or plug a second monitor, or use rivatuner or other software to put an overlay with real numbers.

naasongs i cant understand what does your issue has to do with this thread at all is your issue to do with the cpu/gpu itself (are you having thermal issues?) or any other hardware if not im sorry i cant help you with any download issues that should be browser related issue nothing to do with the laptop itself we only provide support for issues with the laptop hardware/software itself not 3rd party software issues if your sound card its working fine with everything else im affraid you would have to try to fix the issue yourself
