Need help to find what makes my build bottleneck

Hello friends,

 

I am desperate to understand what makes my build bottleneck. I've been playing games like Fallout 4 or Skyrim and I don't get the performance I was expecting. I always update my gpu and optimize my games with the Nvidia experience program.

I've most recently been playing RDR 2 and at first, my gpu usage was around 60% and I could play on high to ultra settings (60 hz). Since a recent game patch, the gpu usage went down to 30-40% and I can't get the same graphics performance. I've tried many thing like turning the freesync on and off, putting my pc in performance mode (windows) and gaming mode (BIOS). I did not overclock my system. 

I understand that I do not have the latest tech, but here is my system:

  • Ryzen 1800x cpu
  • Asus mobo stryx b350 f gaming
  • Msi duke 1080 graphics card
  • 2x 8gb 3000 ram sticks 
  • Cooling master 240mm rad with 2 120 mm fans
  • Evga 750w gold plus psu
  • LG monitor ultrawide screen (2560 x 1080 75hz)

I am looking to upgrade the part(s) that is causing this. Thanks guys for your help!

Ddu the drivers 

Enable xmp/docp 

A game doesn't have to utilize either the cpu or the GPU to 100%

PC: Motherboard: ASUS B550M TUF-Plus, CPU: Ryzen 3 3100, CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34, GPU: GIGABYTE WindForce GTX1650S, RAM: HyperX Fury RGB 2x8GB 3200 CL16, Case, CoolerMaster MB311L ARGB, Boot Drive: 250GB MX500, Game Drive: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM HDD.

 

Peripherals: GK61 (Optical Gateron Red) with Mistel White/Orange keycaps, Logitech G102 (Purple), BitWit Ensemble Grey Deskpad.

So you’re getting 60% cpu and 40% gpu simultaneously?

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

No 

OP said that before the driver update 

His GPU usage was at 60% 

Not it dropped to 40 after the driver update.

Thank you Tofu but I am looking for a overall solution for my build. But, I'll surely try your solution too!

If one system is running at 40% while the other is running at 100% it’s a hardware bottleneck and one replaces the part that is at 100% with something more powerful.  If both are well under 100% it’s a different problem.

What do you mean? are you saying that GeForce experience optimization is not changing the settings, from default? @dfsgsfa
