GPU at idle when playing PoE.
|
Like any way to make my GPU work harder?
I've got a 980ti on water (caps out at 45C) It's at 405 mhz when playing PoE and will not clock up even when it can easily hit 1400+mhz.

Do you have an integrated card as well? Are you certain PoE is even running on your dedicated card and not the internal one?
As for your actual question, usage is on-demand. It only uses what it needs, and apparently for you it is not needing much. This isn't a "problem" though. It prevents your hardware from over-working and being damaged. What is the actual problem you are trying to solve... because the GPU not being under load isn't the problem. |

Fps stutters from 71-144 hz like this
http://i.imgur.com/ZLvNdpe.jpg I don't get why i can't just keep it at a stable 144hz (im using a 144hz monitor). G-sync doesn't work. Black frames flickering for windowed+fullscreen while worse FPS with fullscreen only. Using i7-6700k @ 4.6ghz also on water.

Ok, that's the problem you should have started with.
Stable anything is difficult in PoE because of many factors, beyond simple rendering. There are likely issues with asset loading and processing which uses more CPU than GPU. Not that this is really an answer, but 71fps on the low is still quite good. Most players just want 60fps.. so you're already ahead there. As for the fluctuation, I'd disable any GPU setting for PoE in the drivers initially and see what changes. I'd also set a frame limit in the drivers afterward to limit the high-end fps... my monitor is only 75Hz so mine is set to 75fps. Последняя редакция: Drakier#1520. Время: 13 дек. 2015 г., 12:58:16

Use EVGA Precsion X or MSI Afterburner as a frame limiter, and disable vsync. I think what's happening is you're card can't sustain 144FPS, so it (as vsync does) drops to half-sync (144 * 0.5 = 72).

" My card is practically idle lmao. I messed around with some settings, card is still idle but now it's stuttering between 125-165 hz which is a lot better.

Part of sustaining is having data to render.
As I said before, that's also reliant on a lot of other factors, CPU included. The GPU has to have something to render to work. If it can't keep the frames up, it drops. |

I doubt it's the cpu. I got 1001 cinebench with it, so there's something else wrong.

You're missing the part where I said multitude of factors.
It's not just any one thing. I assumed it was resource loading, but I don't know for sure. Without more troubleshooting and knowledge of what's going on, I can't say for sure what it is. |

By "125-165 hz", do you mean FPS? If you have vsync on and the game goes from ~144FPS to ~142FPS it will drop to ~72FPS to match the display refresh rate. So even small dips can be very noticeable.
Do the thing that I said if you want smoother gameplay, but I don't understand why you're worried about your GPU not being the bottleneck when you're getting 144FPS on max already. |
