Low GPU usage and buffering in Plex

Featured Replies

Hello,

I have read tons of threads and tried all of the things. Im still quite confused why my 3070 is not working harder and causing videos to buffer.

When my friends play certain movies they were getting constant buffering. When I play these movies from home they play flawlessly.

After reading through the forums I made some tweaks and my friends said the buffering was reduced significantly but still there.

I  believe I have all the necessary settings correct but I must be missing something. I would expect a 3070 to be able to handle plenty of workload for this. I have attached a couple screenshots for review. Please let me know if anyone has some advice. Thank you.

Update: 

One of my friends was able to set video playback to 720p and has no more buffering. Im not sure if this points to a hardware limitation on his end or on mine. Its a bummer he has to manually downgrade it rather than plex do this automatically.
