Hi, can anyone suggest what might be going on with my GPU?

I have a GTX1060 that until tonight has been functioning just fine. Now when I run P3Dv4 with even the most basic scenery and the R22 the GPU utilization jumps immediately to 100% and stays there. Yesterday was fine nothing new installed but today its jerky and unflyable. I have deleted the shaders directory and prepar3d.cfg and rebooted but no change. My current Nvidia driver is 23.21.13.9065 which I  didn't want to get into messing with at this stage.

Can anyone suggest what to try next?

Hi, can anyone suggest what might be going on with my GPU's.

Starting and running P3D the sim defaults to my GTX1060 (GPU1) and runs just fine. If I leave it to itself while I grab something to eat for an hour, when I come back I find it is very jerky. Task Manager now shows my Intel GPU 0 is taking the brunt of the load at about 90% and my GTX1060 is just ticking over at about 20% load.

DISREGARD I AM POSTING A NEW REQUEST FOR HELP ----- HOPEFULLY

I always disable the CPU intel video card in the bios, it ensures the OS only use the correct GPU and also save a couple of Celsius degrees on the CPU while Over Clocking.

Thanks for the prompt reply Simbol but my problem has changed  somewhat so I have posted a new request.

However your suggestion is something I will adopt once I have things running normally again.

Fixed by a backup copy I had saved of Prepar3d.cfg.  😊

No idea what setting or settings were to blame. When I have time I will work through the good and the bad and try to find out the cause!! 😐

Barry - look for a program called WinMerge - it's freeware.  Rename the currently restored p3d.cfg and let p3d build a new one. Run p3d to see if he problem is back.  

Then - use winmerge to compare both cfg's - should give you a good idea what is causing the issue.

Switch back to the working one when done.

Thanks for that Vic I will give it a try.
