Anonymous

When ever I'm playing more demanding games my gpu usage randomly spiked to 80% and more and i get like 40 fps after like 2 minutes usage drops to like 40 and I get normal fps depending on what game it is but usually about 100. I have a RTX 3060 laptop gpu. (I have the latest driver installed) This usage spike cycles about every 3 minutes after it stops. Gpu is not overheating as well every time it happened the temperature wasn't above 70 °C.

    Hi over there : According with online reports

    This Gpu spike happens, mostly to users

    who playing games and videos

                     is it normal for a GPU clock to spike,.?

    It's ok, that's normal. You don't need to lower, the monitor's hertz..

    That's because the GPU usage base. it can go up in a peak and

       come back depends on the use. Like watching games or video.

    But if you want to apply, some fixes : To minimize this GPU spikes

    Adjust your power settings to. High Performance mode : in Windows

    Settings > System > Power & Sleep > Additional Power Settings.

    This will ensure that your CPU and GPU : Are not throttled by power

    saving features. Try lowering the resolution or graphics settings

    of your games to reduce the load on your GPU and CPU.
