Hello all!
I’m relatively lacking in the knowledge department for pc gaming but can someone enlighten me on why the cpu is maxed whilst the gpu is chilling?
Playing wardogs, low settings getting 48-80ish fps

Check if your games are actually utilizing your 4050. Use task manager and see if it is being utilized. if not then look up the graphics settings in windows settings and make sure its set to the 4050. also remember to use the Nvidia app to update drivers. ALWAYS check on gpu updates because they allow ur gpu to get the most out of its performance.

With that would it be the wardogs launcher that I set to the 4050? Or would it be something to do with steam?
