CPU usage stays pretty low

Beginners

Hi I bought a new laptop with Core i9 13900H and GeForce RTX 4070, 32GB memory.
OS is Windows 11.

I tested 2000 x 2000 point clouds instancing project but it’s extremely slower than my previous pc and it’s around 5FPS.
Total CPU usage is around 4% and 0.3% for TouchDesigner.
GPU usage is almost 100% and memory usage is 44%.

When using Photoshop or other Adobe software, CPU usage is around 80%.
Only TouchDesigner looks it can’t use enough CPU power.

Off course I changed power plan and maximum CPU usage on Windows OS.
Is there any solution?
Thanks.

Point clouds don’t use the CPU in TouchDesigner, they are done entirely on the GPU, so they won’t cause CPU usage. SOPs, CHOP, movie playback/recording, or things that use the CPU more.

Understood. Sorry, maybe it’s on my GPU side.
Already updated graphic driver, both GeForce and Intel graphics, but same thing.

On device manager, I found GeForce had stopped on error 43.
I tried to fix it, uninstall and install drivers but couldn’t fix it.
Eventually ended up factory resetting my pc, then now is fine.
