    Really, really low GPU usage while playing Far Cry 5 (around 3% GPU Usage)

    I know there are a lot of discussions about this on the internet, but i really did find any solution.
    I get a lot of fps drops while playing, especially during explosions.
    I tried increasing the resolution scaling, but the gpu usage still stays around 3% even when i set the scale value to 2. My CPU usage is around 55 %.
    I would really appreciate some advice.
    Specs:
    1x16 Gb 2400Mhz Ram
    GTX 1060 6Gb
    I7 7700 K

    Check which device is selected

    Hey there. This may seem really quite simply but have you tried checking in the nvidia control panel to see whether you have the integrated graphics selected either globally or for the game under program settings. Either way, make sure it's the dedicated GTX 1060 graphics instead. It could be using integrated and hence the 1060 is just sat idle. What sort of FPS do you get with which settings?
