Hello, so for a long time I have been using the same PC and consistently got from 110-144hz but just today when playing Destiny 2, I was getting about 70. As a result I was curious to see if my CPU, GPU or ram were under full load so I opened up NZXTcam to check and they were both at about 60% load give or take. I then tried to lower a few settings like shadows and such but it made no difference in my frames. I am just wondering why I am not able to get the frames I usually do especially since my CPU and GPU are not even close to full load. Is there some setting or something that I have incorrect? \ My CPU temp is also not going above 45 degrees ever and that is even with the stock cooler (I know I really need to upgrade), but I would assume since it is such a bad cooler it would be getting super hot? For reference: i5 7500 GTX 1070 16 gigs ram Thank you for any help I really am at a loss on this one and am a little worried that I messed something up.

Hello, so I have had my PC for a while and recently I have noticed something strange. When playing games, most noticeably the new COD, my CPU is maxed out according to windows and my GPU is only at about 3% usage. By turning the settings down a little bit I can hover around 120 frames but I am just at a loss for why my GPU is not higher. The attached picture is when playing the game. Is it because windows task manager is a bad way to monitor all of this? For reference I have a 1070, an i5-7500 and 16 gb of ram. I realize that my CPU will bottleneck my GPU most of the time but is it supposed to be that bad? Is this normal? And if not is there a way to fix it? I plan on getting a new CPU in the near future but in the meantime is this just how it will be? Thank you for any help it is greatly appreciated. And just for note on the screenshot COD is above the Service Host: Superfetch using the entire rest of the CPU
