Rtx 2070 under usage

[pedrotooguitar]

Good afternoon, guys

 

I bought a new pc with an i7 8700 (hyper 212 black) Asus Prime b360 Plus mb, RTX 2070  Msi Ventus, 16gb 2666mhz Hyper X ram, 480 ssd, 1tb hdd  and a 620w seasonic 80+ bronze psu. All in a corsair case with decent 3 fan airflow.

When I play any demanding game at 1080 like Tomb Raider, GTA, Far Cry 5 etc the GPU usage is at 60-75% most of the time, and I have no idea why, I looked in the motherboard, Nvidia settings, Nvidia Experience, power management, etc but it seems like the GPU just doesn't want to work more. When I do a stress test it boosts up to 99%, but in normal games it doesn't, and in some scenes I am barely getting 60 FPS in games because the GPU is at 60%, which means my 144hz monitor isn't being used properly. Does any of you have any suggestion? If I push the resolution scaling to 1.5 or 2 in most games the GPU gets pinned at 90/95%, but I really wanted the 1080p ultra grafics high framerate experience with the 2070. I tried overclocking it (got 180 mhz on the clock and 500 on the memory and increased power allowance as much  as I could) but all the GPU seems to do is run at a  lesser % and output roughly the same amount of FPS. The temperature never goes beyong 70º even with the GPU OC'd, and it is something sitting in these heavy games at 60º just chilling lmao. The CPU is probably not the bottleneck, as in these games it doesn't go over 30%/40% usage and it never goes over 55º. 

Does anyone have any tips? I reinstalled winodws, drivers, updated BIOS and Windows and nothing seems to work. 

THanks a Lot

are you running the games off the ssd or hdd

[pedrotooguitar]

Off both, doesn't seem to have any effect which drive I am using

Single channel or Dual channel?

[pedrotooguitar]

I have it in dual channel, already checked with CPU z, it says dual

This is strange, and are the CPU temps and clocks doing fine as well?

[pedrotooguitar]

Yes, it is always at 4.2/4.3 ghz (think the max is 4.5ghz) and I've never seen it go over 60º outside of cinebench, usually is about 50ºC

well.. i want to say the 1080p resolution. the rtx 2070 non super is still a very good card. if you have the possibility... put it on a 1440p monitor.

which games are these , there really shouldnt be any game at all that wouldnt benefit from an ssd other than very old games with very small assets

[pedrotooguitar]

I have installed the same games in both the ssd and the hdd to notice if there is any difference, but they don't work in neither of them at full load.

and do you have the possibility to play on 1440p?

[pedrotooguitar]

No, I don't. I understand what you mean about the 1440p, and it makes sense, but it was a personal choice to play at high FPS 1080p instead of lower FPS 1440p, and I just did not expect it to not work the it does, some lower cards like the 2060 are getting more fps than I am in the same games because they're fully utilized, I'll try to get the card back to the store and get another 2070 model to try to notice any changes
