Blender using my CPU instead of GPU even though all settings are set to GPU I have a problem where no matter what I do Blender utilizes my CPU instead of my selected GPU.
I have a fairly older CPU and a much stronger newer GPU - RTX 2060, that's why I want to utilize it.
I tried everything but I can not find the solution.
I am using Blender 2.92
I enabled CUDA ( Also tried OptiX - did not work) in my preferences, checked the compatibility and selected my GPU.
Cycles is selected with GPU compute
I tried reinstalling blender several time with no change.
No matter what I change whenever I try to render a liquid simulation for example, my CPU usage is 100% and my GPU is 0%.
I have no idea what else to do.
EDIT 1:
Checked again in task manager specifically CUDA and not general GPU and it remains at 0%
EDIT 2:
Problem was, I'm just stupid and did not realise you exclusively use CPU for physics.
It might be that you looking the performance of integrated gpu, that's why it shows 0%.
In task manager make sure you are looking the stats of your dedicated gpu.
Also change graph to cuda
