New MSI 670 PE GTX low GPU usage

Just got my MSI 670 PE from newegg yesterday. Doing some tests on 3dmark vantage in performance preset ( default that every bench uses) and my GPU usage drops to 40%, quite often, especially during intense graphic areas. It also does this in other games as well -- Crysis 2, Bf3.
I watched some youtube videos of others with this card and they did not have these issues.
Using MSI afterburner for OSD. 310.90 Drivers (tried 310.70 as well).
Could i have received a faulty card? Might I be having a CPU bottleneck? My CPU is a Athlon 2 x4 640 @ 3ghz. MSI 870-g45 motherboard, 4gb 1600 ram.
Thanks.

This is my 3dmark vantage score with my current system. See any issues?

MSI R9 270X HAWK low GPU usage and screen flickering problem

I bought an MSI R9 270X HAWK vga and I have this screen flickering issue.
My S/N: 602-V303-02SB1310009419
I also had another problem: the GPU usage averages at 50-55% on every game (DX9,10,11 games like TESV Skyrim, League of Legends, Crysis 2-3, Battlefield 2-3, Far Cry 3) and never reaches more than 80%(well, once I made it run at 99%, I used ultra settings on Battlefield 4 with Sync on, Ultra preset settings with 200% res. scale so pretty much the maxed out Settings). I'm using this card with 8GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance RAM with a stock clocked 1090T and AMD's reply for this problem was, that this problem can be driver problem as well as VBIOS.

I created a bootable usb, placed the files in it (formated, and only these files were at the usb, dos startup directed to win98boot's folder (C:\win98boot) renamed the tv303ms.134 to tv303ms.rom,l after i placed it on the usb and in the boot menu there are four additional options related to the USB (there's no USB only option): FDD, HDD, CDROM, zip. Selecting the FDD and CDROM starts the windows normally, The HDD option ended on the white-black screen, and there's where I can write: C:\>
after this i tried to type in: atiflash.exe TV303MS.rom [enter] nothing happened, then atiflash.exe [enter] and popped up some help instructions for the use of atiflash, I pressed enter over and over and then requested another command, I tiped in the tv303ms.rom [enter] and again nothing happened (invalid command I think). What should I do now ? I did some research but still can't figure out what the problem is. :/ (If I done everything correct, maybe the problem related to my motherboard or USB stick?)

MSI r7970 lightning low gpu usage.

Hi guys. I play battlefield 4 and i have low gpu usage, around 60-70%. With low usage i have low fps. I thought it is CPU problem, but i think it shouldn't be, because it is i5 2500k clocked at 4.2Ghz. Can someone help or it is maybe driver/game bug or something.

I use latest beta. I remembered i didn't Intel inf drivers after reinstalling my windows few days ago , i might try that now.
Edit: I installed all new drivers and all i could think of, but all the same. Usage too low.

MSI GTX 770 Gaming TF4 low gpu usage problem

I bought MSI 770GTX Gaming 2GB few months ago. Now i`m playing Crysis 3 and occasionally my GPU usage drops to 45%-50%. It happends on same places, like in first scene when climbing up the stairs. I go up, GPU Usage drops to 45% for 1-2 scs and stuff like that. Now I wonder is anyone else experiencing same symptoms, and what can I do to solve this problem? I`m using latest drivers, 331.82. I registered my card, and updated BIOS from your support site. Temperatures are <70c, nowhere near power limit so that can`t be causing low gpu drops. I did fresh Windows install but it didn`t help. Didn`t try older drivers yet.

I have the same card and had a lot of similar issues to this especially in crisis 3.
I seemed to resolve the issues by removing the Nvidia audio drivers and the MSI gaming app, then I reinstalled the NVidia drivers as a clean install without the audio driver. I didn't reinstall the gaming app as when I did the issue comes back

Low GPU Usage with 780 Ti (Adaptive to whats being rendered)

Received this card 2 days ago, and have been trying to fix this issue since I got it. In games, the GPU usage is never consistent, and will stay the same if I'm not moving or looking around. Turning around by say 45 degrees will cause the GPU usage to change to something different. My friend also purchased a 780 Ti a few days ago, but from Gigabyte. His GPU usage during games is always around 100%. His performance is amazing because of it, while mine can be pretty bad at times.
I've already tried a lot of different things to try and fix it, but nothing has worked so far. Here's a list of some of the things I've already tried.
1 Updated BIOS, and disabled any power saving settings.
2 Used K-Boost, and then disabled it.
3 Set NCP 3d settings to prefer maximum performance.
4 Used Nvidia's Inspector tool to manually change those options again.
5 Tried giving it a higher power percentage.
6 Switched the power cables for different ones.
7 Switched it to a different PCI slot.
8 Disabled all software for startup.
9 Gone through and made sure AMD files were completely gone.
10 Forced constant voltage using MSI Afterburner.
11 Disconnected my second monitor.
Basic Specs
i7 4770k
MSI 780 Ti Twin Frozr
Rosewill 1300 Watt PSU 80+ Gold

Can't seem to actually link those, so copy and paste them.

Okay. so I toke the benchmark with the following results:
I noticed (as you can see) my fps dropped sometimes when it changed scenes..
And during the benchmark, the usage was at 99% for the most...
The game I am currently playing is Arma 3... Which has the low gpu/cpu usage..
And thanks a lot for your quick answer!

Y40-70 Low GPU usage and laggy in GTA5 under Windows 10

By using the newest AMD 15.7.1 driver on AMD R9 M275 video card, GTA5 have steady fps when the scene does not change or changing slowly, but it gets laggy as hell when the scene change fast such as driving, like the fps would instant drop to 8~15 fps when the scene change fast and instand back above 30fps if you stop or slow down driving. from GPU-Z , it shown that the GPU load is very low, which is below 40% all the time. But under windows 8.1 with the AMD 15.7.1 driver , GTA5 wont lag with the same in game setting. besides the random GPU frequency drop under 400Mhz problem, GTA5 runs smooth in WIndow8.1 right now. Lenovo fix this annoying sht.

6950 Twin Frozr III/PE, Low FPS, Low GPU usage

I could use some help, I've tried everything I can think of and no luck so far so maybe someone here can help. I spent all weekend trying to fix it with no luck.
I am having issues with my MSI 6950 Twin Frozr III/Power Edition cards. When playing a games my GPU usage never seems to get above 50%. I've tried each card individually and in crossfire but it never seems to make a difference. My frame rates fluctuate between 70 and 20 FPS while the GPU load fluctuates between 30-50%. Crossfire or not the frame rates and GPU usage stays about the same, never using more than 60% of the GPU. I only recently began seeing issues but I don't remember exactly when it started.
Hardware tried:
MSI 6950 Twin Frozr III/Power Edition (not flashed to 6970)
AMD Phenom II x6 1090T @4.0GHz
MSI 890FXA-GD70
16GB Mushkin DDR3 1600
Mushkin SATA III SSD
NZXT HALE90 850W PSU
14x FN 120RB 120mm fans
Aquacomputer Airplex Radiator with built in D5 Pump
i7-2600K @4.6GHz
ASUS P8P67 Pro
16GB Corsair DDR3 1600
OCZ Vertex 3 SSD
SeaSonic X750 Gold 750W
Corsair H60
Things I've tried (tried with both cards individually and in crossfire with no change, and in both systems, and various combinations)
-Current Drivers 12.10
-Rolling drivers back to 11.11
-Beta 12.11 Drivers
-Set constant voltage in Afterburner (heard that was causing conflict problems between Afterburner and CCC)
-Tried switching the cards between my 1090T @4.0GHz and my i7-2600K @4.6GHz and no change (both CPUs stay at around 60-70% so I dont think thats the bottleneck)
-Set power tune to +20%
-Tried clean install of windows 7 and no change
-Checked both PSUs with tester and both check out fine (not sure if the load is too much for them though)
Games that I've tried (with issues):
-Borderlands 2
-Hawken
-Dishonord
-Skyrim
-Dirt 3
-Saints Row 3
-Need for Speed: Most Wanted (always been bad but doesn't seem to be made any worse like the others)
I'm getting very discouraged and really hoping my graphics cards aren't going bad (they are only a year old). Any help is greatly appreciated.

can you test either of the card in another PC?
have you tried to turn off the vsync?

GTX 970 GPU usage spikes and Frame Rate drops

Hi all, anyone having the same issue?
I'm playing a relatively low(?) graphic intensive game ( League of Legends ) and this also happens in the sims 4. I have The Crew and this issue does not happen so frequently. Could anyone kindly assist to provide me some info on this?
My driver version is the latest (347.25)
My system specs are:
Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit
ASUS P8Z77-V Intel i7-3770 @ 3.40 GHz
CORSAIR VENGEANCE 12 gig ram ( 3*4g )
MSI GTX 970 4G Gaming
Corsair Force GT SCSI 120 gig (SSD for OS)
Western Digital WD1002FAEX 1tb (HDD for Games,Videos etc..)
SeaSonic M12II Bronze 620W
If anyone needs any more information please let me know... Sorry for my English as it is not my native tongue...

CORSAIR VENGEANCE 12 gig ram ( 3*4g ) <-- that will cause a performance hit as you will be in single channel on the memory not dual channel! (on that platform you need even numbers of sticks and a odd amount will force single channel only (for max performance its 2 or 4 slots populated))
it could possibly be contributing to you issue!
Badboy2k first of all thanks for the very quick response! Secondly, does it mean that I would have to pluck out 1 of them? And is there any order or position I have to place them in? I had 4 sticks but 1 of it was spoilt so I took it out...

MSI 4G 970 GTX OC Edition - Bios Update Request

Good morning. Since NVidia isnt doing much to rectify their issues I thought I would seek out some help on the MSI Gaming pages to see if I could update the bios to my card and it may relieve some of the GPU card usage issues. So rather then tag on someone elses thread I am asking for assistance to ensure I use the right BIOS updates and instructions so I do not damage my card. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
My symptoms from my card are pretty standard like the rest of the 970 GTX series owners. Some freezing or screen stutter occasionally, and low usage of the components.
In addition one of my older games is unable to use the 4G of VRAM properly and the screen locks up and the game crashes. That game is about 12 years old now so I am not to concerned if this issue isnt resolved.
My info:
Card Serial #: 602-V316-10SB1411120807
Model: MSI 970 GTX OC Edition
FX 8350 w/H60 Liquid Cooler
ASUS Crosshair V Formula Z Mobo
32 GB G. Skill RipJaw @ 1866
Thermaltake 750W Modular PSU
MSI 970 GTX OC Ed.

What does .193 do for me? Does that address the VRAM issues or the Low GPU usage issues present in the 970 chipset?
I just pulled the 970 from my rig for now. When NVIDIA makes some statements and then MSI on what if anything can be done I might put it back in. At this time though I feel like I need to just wait it out. The card causes me problems with a 12 year old game when i dont cap the memory usage. That shouldnt be happening, when on my 7870 which only has 2 GB of memory has none of the same issues on the exact same game.

No signal on msi 670 gtx power edition

hi just recently built a new pc,
i,m 98% everything is connected as it should be
my problem is when i switch on, all fans work, graphics card fans work, cpu fan etc
however i get no signal on my monitor, i dont hear any beeps at all just all fans spinning
just to add ive used JPWR1 for the HDD , POWER switch, and reset switch are plugged in on JPWR1 there are nothing on the JPWR2 (is that right) ?
ive tried just using motherboard dvi only without graphics card connected,
ive tried just about everything i can think of
abviously i cant get into bios to update bios,
am i missing anything to try? it says in the user guide the HDD should be + and - and the reset swtich should be - and + so abviously the lettering is facing up on the HDD and on reset is the opposite way if you get me, (power connectors to motherboad
could this be a cause why i,m getting no signal, or is it something more ?
ive tried using hdmi on my tv, i,m currently using dvi on my monitor to pc, (just wanted to try hdmi, to see if it would make any diffrence, but still get no signal
dont get why all fans are sinnning on everything n get no signal, if it was motherboard i guess fans wouldnt be spinning?
any advice would be helpful

hi ive tried all of the above apart from trying graphics in other pci slot,
my question is why doesnt it boot up using the onboard graphics? (670 gtx is removed when using onboard graphics) i,m thinking its a motherboard fault, as it should have no issue using onboard graphics? or am i wrong, i will try the other pci slot to rule it out but to be honest if i cant get a signal using onboard i cant see my graphics working on other slot.
but its worth a try before RMA
Yep, my on-board graphics worked fine even with the 670 installed. The on-board graphics were set to 'only if no external gpu detected' so my 670 even though booting up, fan spinning and no error beeps was not getting detected. Very strange.
I also tried the 670 in another computer with a x16 socket and it worked.
I have ordered a new MSI Z77 G45 MB in the hope that it will work in a board of the same make as my 670.

MSI 770 TF 2GD5/OC cant display GPU usage

Hi everyone,
Programs like Afterburner and GPU-Z dont show the GPU usage from my 770,
it always stays at 0% wich obviously isnt right when im in-game etc..
Tried it with NVIDIA driver versions 320.49 and the new 326.19 beta,
and MSI Gaming App 1.0.0.2 and 1.0.0.3 installed, if that matters..
Could the card itself be faulty or something ?
I also have another problem, so i might aswell thow it in here if thats ok !?.. When my frames in BF3 drop just a littlebit fom 121(locked) to for example 108, it lags for a moment.
Does anybody have an idea what could cause that ? got an i5-3570K @ 4,3GHz

Aha, ok haven't seen that so far. I'm also hoping for continued Afterburner support as the App is far from being great and can crash the system or the driver when switching between the modes. As Afterbunrner is still quite popular and attracting a lot of people to decide for MSI vgas I also guess the app will just be added. For overclocking boost 2.0 cards it is at least quite useful as it limits the gpu's freedom to jump between boost clockrates a bit.
