[MCPE-166734] Minecraft Bedrock (1.19.51) is not utilizing ANY GPU

I started playing Minecraft Bedrock again recently with some friends and noticed that my GPU is not being used at all with Minecraft Bedrock. Instead it only relies on CPU power. Sometimes getting up to 60 or even 70% CPU Usage. I've done the possible workarounds that were listed in MCPE-161517, but nothing has changed. It doesn't affect FPS at all hardly. Just some minor hiccups whenever I try to venture from my house. Also affecting other processes on the computer like Discord and OBS.

Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5 6500 @ 3.20 GHz

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

8 Gigs of RAM

I know I don't have much to go off of but I hope you guys can somehow find a fix to this.

@[MOD] GoldenHelmet Sort of? However my chip doesn't have Integrated Graphics. If I do the settings to Pick a dedicated GPU within either Nvidia Control Panel or Stock Windows Settings, it only gives me the option for my 1060...I only have GPU-0 in my GPU Engine section of my Task Manager which is my GTX 1060

Thanks for clarifying. I checked this on my PC, has does have Intel HD 630 integrated graphics but to which I recently added a 1050 ti. The debug header in Windows Preview shows the 1050 ti as the graphics processor. Task Manager shows 0% GPU usage for Minecraft, and in fact it shows 0% for all processes on the "Processes" on tab, but on the "Performance" tab under the 1050 ti it shows 3D usage at about 12%, spiking to 20% when I fly around loading new chunks in creative. So I think the issue here is just with how Task Manager displays Minecraft's resource usage. I'm not sure if that's a bug in Minecraft or in Windows.

I would guess the issue is the same whether you have integrated graphics or not, but I'll leave this report open separately for Mojang to review.

Slight update, yesterday I messed around with some more computer settings. Turned on "Game Mode" and Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling in the Windows Settings. My GPU is now VERY SLIGHTLY being used. Around 1-5%, but CPU is still at around 50-70% usage. Tried with Texture Packs and no difference in either.

I have the same problem. My pc is using the Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti and I'm lucky if the gpu usage is 1%. Meanwhile, my cpu usage is 80% to 90% and lags the computer. The Windows 10 graphics settings for Minecraft are set to high performance, but that doesn't make any difference. If I load different games, the gpu usage is much higher and there is no lag due to less usage of the cpu. This is definitely a bug in Minecraft.
