GPU usage suddenly drops to 0% while gaming

P4-630 · Apr 22, 2017

As the title says.

Yesterday I had a first GTA V crash.
This was in the event viewer:

"Faulting application name: GTA5.exe, version: 1.0.1032.1, time stamp: 0x58de7c3d
Faulting module name: GTA5.exe, version: 1.0.1032.1, time stamp: 0x58de7c3d

I never had any problems before running this game, now my GPU usage just dropped to 0% while in the game, the game did not crash this time but ofcourse it was a huge stutter for a second:

As I said, never had any problems before with GTA V, and never had these 0% GPU usage before...

I was playing at 1080p before but it seemed it runs a bit better at 1440p dsr now until I got that 0% GPU usage for a second...

What is going on?

I haven't had any crashes , but I've had stuttering or pausing performance recently too.I know the GPU isn't over burdened, and I know the CPU however limited is still capable of running the game perfectly fine so it must be something recent either update for the game or for the driver

Well about 4-5 days ago I didn't notice any problems though and the game was already updated a while ago.
I'm still on 376.33 driver since the latest driver didn't seem to smooth for GTA V IMO.

I hope I'm not getting hardware related problems...

OK I hope it's GTA V software related then and that it will be better after a GTA V update that is coming soon..

Check event viewer for Display event warnings.

I just did, nothing alarming there when the GPU was at 0% for a second.

Derek12 · Apr 22, 2017

Because that, AFAIK can mean the driver/GPU is crashing
GPU Clocks and voltages shouldn't drop for a short time as the GPU power management has some hysteresis.

That wasn't the issue now then.

Yesterday after the GTA V crash there was this in the event viewer:

I was refering to the 0% thing.

I highly doubt it's hardware related but who knows. Maybe your issue is different than mine, it just sounded similar to me

I just wanted to reinstall the same driver and this is what I saw:

Something borked up with the driver it seemed, anyways I've reinstalled the same driver, hope it's better now.

DRDNA · Apr 22, 2017

All of this sounds like the Video drivers bonking out....error or no error sounds like the driver just stopped working when at 0%.

P4-630 · Apr 22, 2017

Been playing GTA V for 20 minutes @1080p again, no problems yet.

I hope the driver reinstall fixed it.

R00kie · Apr 22, 2017

I had something similar on all PC configs, it just comes and goes. It mostly gets fixed by game patches.

DeathtoGnomes · Apr 22, 2017

a clean install every driver update is always best.

Always do that but somehows last time it probably didn't go alright as it should with the driver install.

Playing GTA V for about an hour now, seems ok now.

Thanks.
