1660 Super performs poorly on i7 but great on i5

[BubbaJNelson]

I have an nVidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super video card. It runs at 16% (Task Manager GPU Copy) on an i7-7770K machine and the same video card runs 98% (Task Manager GPU 3D) on an i5-4460 machine. Why the big difference? How can I get more out of the video card running on the i7-7770K machine?

Neither number is the one you should look at to see the utilization figure for your GPU by F@h. In Task Manager you need to switch to one of the non-default performance reports. On some versions/updates of Windows you are looking for the report on CUDA utilization. Others it will show under one of the Compute_ graphs.

Easier is to use a performance monitoring ap such as GPU-Z.

The i7-7770k is a better CPU, but you may find that you get higher Points Per Day with the CPU paused, or fewer threads in use.
