Just tried to play BG3 for the first time. Updated the graphics driver as the game launcher reccomended. The game is super slow and stuttering. I'm pretty sure this is the problem, but I don't know the solution.

Is your monitor plugged in your graphic card.

🤣🤣🤣 bro was playing at like 2fps
rip pc
EDIT: Totally forgot I swapped CPUs. The 3700x doesn’t have integrated graphics and probably wouldn’t allow me to have this error. A new 7600x though…
Make sure the video cable is plugged into the gpu and not the motherboard. Also task manager is sometimes unreliable for measuring GPU usage or atleast it has been for me. My GPU was at 60% in RTSS but in task manager it was at 2%
Is it the other GPU?
My guess: Your CPU is also working pretty hard. FPS limit the game. You are probably tabbing out, i.e. opening menu, but your menu is not fps-capped, so you get like infinite FPS and a single core is attempting to handle it (8-core -> 12.5%). And your system just happens to cap the GPU before the CPU (should typically be the other way around, but it can differ depending on the game).
