Rendering on GPU... Only 6%?

I am Rendering a scene Right now and the taskmanager says it only uses aprox. 6% of the GPU …

What? Is this right?

I set GPU everywhere

So a few things come to mind.

  1. Use OptiX, it’s way faster then CUDA for RTX cards and Cycles rendering.
  2. Double check stats using GPU-Z and check to see if there’s something else limiting the 4090.
  3. Are you using a recent release of the Nvidia driver, ideally the Studio set, unless you happen to play 0-day release games.
  4. Do you get the same result if not using the Experimental feature set?
  5. What resolution and sample settings are you using, is that during the actual GPU render stage or is the CPU still building/doing stuff?
  6. Have you downloaded the Blender Open Data test and if so, does it give results around what a normal 4090 does?

long time didn’t use windows, if i recall there was a more detailed view in which you see compute, rasterization video decode and stuff like that.
maybe you should look into that and the general view is averaging
cause 50C for a 4090 at 6% doesn’t make sense

edit:
was lazy to fire up windows here is a screenshot from the internet of what i mean
