To disable the integrated GPU, you will need to access your computer's BIOS settings. The steps to do this may vary depending on your motherboard manufacturer. Generally, you can enter the BIOS by restarting your computer and pressing a specific key (e.g., F2, Del) during the boot process. Once in the BIOS, navigate to the Graphics settings and look for an option to disable the integrated GPU. Save the changes and exit the BIOS.

Enable Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling

Enabling this feature can potentially improve GPU performance by offloading some tasks to the hardware.

To enable Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling, go to Windows Settings > System > Display > Graphics Settings. Turn on the "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" option if it is available. Note that this feature requires Windows 10 version 2004 or later and a compatible GPU.

 Reinstall the game with a fast connection and ample storage

A fresh installation ensures that all game files are properly installed without any issues.

To reinstall Cyberpunk 2077, first, uninstall the game from your computer. Restart your computer to ensure that all game files are completely removed. Once your computer has restarted, ensure a stable internet connection and enough storage space on your hard drive. Reinstall the game using the official distribution platform (e.g., Steam, GOG) and follow the on-screen instructions.

Verify GPU/CPU utilization after reinstallation

After reinstalling the game, it's important to check if both your GPU and CPU are being utilized correctly in-game.

Launch Cyberpunk 2077, open a task manager or monitoring software, and monitor the GPU/CPU utilization while playing. You should see a noticeable improvement in utilization if the steps mentioned above have been successful.

By following these friendly guidelines, you should be able to tackle low GPU/CPU utilization issues in Cyberpunk 2077. Remember to optimize your system resources for an immersive gaming experience. With the right settings and tweaks, you can fully enjoy the breathtaking visuals and engaging gameplay that Cyberpunk 2077 has to offer. Happy gaming!
