Low frame rate while gpu is only 75% used

[shoaibasghar]

Playing nfs most wanted (new one)
getting 10-15 frames at high settings and 20-30 at low settings resolution is 1280 x 1024 at both.
afterburner shows gpu max usage during game time was 75 percent....
i mean shouldn't it use gpu 100 % and give better frames? or is it game issue?


Specs: win 7 32 bit
core i3 first gen
2 gb ram
5770 1 gb card

bro check ur drivers..
u need to have the latest updated drivers..
and if the game is not that heavy the card wll not be used to its full potential.
as u are only gaming at 1280....

Updating drivers might help. I have heard that NFS:MW has frame rate issues.

other drivers are up to date
my lcd is old and max res is 1280 x 1024.

Open catalyst control centre > gaming performance > Image Quality . There u have AA,AAM, AF settings. Change them to let application decide. Hope this might help abit.
Otherwise i must tell you that at such low resolution, ur CPU performs most of the work.. So ur GPU is doing a fairly good job, ur processor might be bottlenecking abit.

You didnt mention your psu and its brand and model no.

It's surely not.

don't know what psu has to do with it. but its antec 500 watt (more than enough)

processor doesnt get to 100 percent either i think game problem. maybe patch ill sort it when it comes out
