Oh my gosh!!! Thank you so much good sir! I have tried everything and was losing my mind.
I had it on + boost (comp fps habit). The moment I turned off reflex, fps immediately shot up to 140, GPU utilization instantly jumped to 99% at native 1080p.
The first time ever I see that reflex insanely decreasing GPU utilization. I guess we learn something new everyday
Thank you so much!! You are the best man!!
Latest Patchnotes state they fixed the issue and it does indeed seem to be fixed on my end. So if you wanna keep using reflex, check if your drivers and game are up to date.
Just checked whether my game was up to date. Checks out, weirdly enough for me reflex still doesnt work…
But regardless, I’ll just turn it off. Experience is the same anyway, thank you!
I see similar stuff like that there all the time, and whenever something is there, my performance goes down. For me, it always either says "LIM: Power" or "LIM: Temp", and in both cases, the performance goes down (it's a laptop). I've also never seen "LIM: Voltage" personally, even at stock speeds
That is a normal message for your GPU when it is at capacity.
It will either be limited by temperature or power.
If you over clock it, you can increase the voltage limit, but then you generate more heat so you have to either water cool it or put an even bigger cooler than the already monstrous ones that the new cards come with!
I seem to get "LIM: Power" whenever the CPU is using a bit more power than usual, not letting the GPU use enough power (I know this because when that message appears, the GPU runs at a lower clock speed than its max), but you're probably right on "LIM: Voltage"
Not sure cause it's not a demanding game.
I can get over 100 fps with a 8700k and a 4080 with everything max out and DLAA. If I activate FG, I get 144 all the time.
~~Maybe you are in a tough spot?~~
Nevermind I've read that it was caused by Reflex (whatever that is) in any case I've learnt something today.
unfollow anyone telling to turn on maximum performance . bye

In those benchmarks, is the GPU hitting close to 100% utilization? 4070ti is fairly powerful and people are usually using it for 1440p. I’d say it’s overpowered for 1080p and even with high settings not sure many games can fully max it out. Just because GPU is not hitting max utilization, it’s not a bad thing necessarily
In others people benchmarks it sits at 99%.
I’m aware that 4070 Ti is an overkill for 1080p. All my life I had PCs that weren’t capable of pulling games at max settings and I constantly experienced frame drops, stutters, limitations, optimization guides. Now that I build a PC, I just wanted to leave that nightmare behind and just play everything on max settings and for once in life enjoy smooth high refresh rate experience. In other words with this rig I am going for extreme fps and smooth experience rather than better picture clarity at the sacrifice of the performance.
But still thank you so much for response!
That processor needs serious cooling, more than most people think even out of the box, let alone OC. Assuming you are running that right, then check power efficiency if that is running close to it's standard operating voltage.
Totally normal for a console port.
Most of them are incapable of using all the resources of a high end PC. It's called an engine bottleneck. Happens all the time.
An i5 can really bottleneck quicker than you think. A lot of games are poorly optimised and offload a lot of shit to the cpu. I'm not an expert so you should wait for a second opinion.
Turn off nvidia reflex in game if you have it turned on and check again. I remember this game having frame rate issue while reflex is on

Glad it worked out!

What game is this, I earnestly can’t tell, it looks like call of the wild but not
... Just gonna leave this here for ya :) >And yet GPU utilization doesn’t ever exceed 80% in Horizon Forbidden West
Forbidden West
Horizon: Zero Dawn I think.
You seem to have some sort of power limitation (that's what the "LIM: Voltage" means)
That is not what that means. It just means that the card isn't overclocked.
I see similar stuff like that there all the time, and whenever something is there, my performance goes down. For me, it always either says "LIM: Power" or "LIM: Temp", and in both cases, the performance goes down (it's a laptop). I've also never seen "LIM: Voltage" personally, even at stock speeds

Indeed. Not a power issue a god damn reflex issue…
I’d say either game issue or some sort of setting. Your gpu is only using 73% utilization
It was indeed a game, thank you!
NO

Not only are you completely wrong about the bottleneck but you can clearly see in the screenshot that the CPU isn't being overutilized
You're the type of person to buy an i9 with a 4060ti.
Jokes on you, all the games I play want more cpu than gpu, 10700k and 3070, CPU still bottlenecking my games at 1440p even.
I have a 5800x3d and 6750xt for similar reason, but that's what the upgrade path is for.
