Precision 7720, GPU usage drop to 0 percent while gaming causing bottleneck
I have dell precision 7720 with xeon E3 1535m v6 paired with Quadro p5000 16gb gddr5 GPU ,16gb ddr4 single stick ram, 256 nvme,also tried 8gb with 16gb in 2 slots but in vain. driver version used is 581, shadow of the tomb raider or blade or dying light the beast all games bottlenecked. I downloaded these drivers 581 and 582 from dell website. I tried batry removing and temprature is under 85 for both CPU or GPU..GPU mostly around 65 to 70. I changed power plan to maximum performence in windows and in Nvidia panel I set it to maximum power performence but no use.noe I'm trying a driver 572 from Nvidia website. but stil micro stutter like going fast for a second and then slow for a second. which driver is best for Quadro p5000 for gaming? any solution?

Hi
The Precision 7720 has four memory slots and supports DDR4 memory up to 2400 MHz, including ECC configurations depending on the installed processor and modules. Adding a matching second 16 GB module would enable dual-channel operation and improve all round performance.
However I am unable to offer any options for driver firmware/software.
Kind Regards

Google says the NVIDIA Quadro P5000 was officially launched on October-2016,
so the "best driver" would be one released in 2017-2018 (while the card was still "current)
AND
that is also compatible with whatever version of Windows you are running.
Normally, you would get this class of driver from Windows-Update.
Just so you know, Quadro cards are optimized for CAD/CAM (and I think Open-GL over Direct-X), but should still be able to play an old game.

This issue is out of scope for Dell. The 9 year old 2017 Precision 7720 Quadro GPU and OEM drivers were never tested/validated by Dell for consumer games. Maybe our users out here can offer some possible troubleshooting.
