title: Why am I consuming so much CPU and none of the GPU?
body: <p>I am working with Houdini (a 3d software) on a computer with an Intel Core i5-8400 2.80GHz and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB.</p>
  <p>My issue is that Houdini is consuming all my CPU but nearly none of my GPU. It also happens when I run other programs like Blender, Unity or any other 3D software.</p>
  <p>I've tryed installing the NVIDIA studio-ready drivers, with similar results. I'm sure that using a 3D software, I should be able to speed up the process with my GPU, but I can´t get it working.</p>
  <p>Can someone tell me what I need to do to &quot;enable&quot; my GPU, please?</p>
  <p>Here is a screenshot of my task manager running a stressful task in Houdini:
