You've noticed others getting higher GPU usage and lower CPU usage in the same game.Possible Causes & Fixes:1. Ensure the Game is Using the RTX 4050:Open NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D settings > Program Settings.Select Marvel Rivals and set Preferred graphics processor to High-performance NVIDIA processor.2. Adjust Power & Performance Settings:Go to Settings > System > Power & battery > Power mode and set it to Best Performance.Ensure your laptop is plugged in while gaming.3. Update Your GPU & Chipset Drivers:Download and install the latest NVIDIA RTX 4050 drivers from NVIDIA’s website.Update chipset drivers from HP Support Assistant or HP’s driver page.4. Monitor CPU & GPU Temperatures:Use HWMonitor or MSI Afterburner to check CPU and GPU temperatures.If CPU is overheating (>90°C), consider using a cooling pad or repasting the thermal compound.5. Adjust In-Game Settings:Lower CPU-heavy settings such as shadows, crowd density, and physics.Enable DLSS or FSR (if available) to reduce CPU load and shift work to the GPU.6. Close Background Apps:Open Task Manager > Startup and disable unnecessary startup programs.End background processes that might be using CPU power.7. Enable Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling:Go to Settings > System > Display > Graphics Settings and enable Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling.Let me know if these steps help!Kind Regards,NonSequitur777
