Rtx 2060 gpu usage

Rtx 2060 gpu usage problem

Ok so I just upgraded from a gtx 1060. I tried out a couple of games, it worked well for apex legends, nfs heat and forza; I tried out low and ultra settings on those games. I then tried out gta v and rainbow six, in gta my cpu and gpu usage were both low, I heard gta runs with low usage but I didn’t see any difference from my 1060. With rainbow six my cpu was at 90 to 100% and my graphics card was around 50-70% usage at low settings, I was getting worse frames than my 1060. I then Tried ultra, same thing although the frames only went down a bit and the gpu usage hit 60-80% I know it’s not a cpu bottleneck Because I was watching benchmarks with the same specs and they were hitting higher gpu usage and frames.

My specs: 
EVGA RTX 2060
I5 8400
16GB DDR4 Dual Channel 
550watt psu

CPU usage 90-100% used and GPU less than 90% used.. That is 100% classic CPU bottleneck. And it got worse because your 2060 is pumping more frames than your 1060 did, thus the change in behavior and worse experience overall.

That seems to be a case of bottleneck though, hmm 

But shouldn't be doing that??

It's a 6-core CPU with no hyperthreading at 2.8-4.0GHz... Modern games and computing will easily outpace that CPU.

This is actually going to bottleneck you. It is not a high performance CPU, and it will slow you down for high framerate gaming.

 

Also, why are you doing any of these games at the lowest settings?

From what I know games don't need hyperthreading and check out i5 8400 benchmark it runs those games easily on nice fps

Pretty much all games released in the last 5 years get massive performance gains from multithreading, (excluding most extreme low-budget indie titles) and most AAA titles from the 5 years prior as well. There are even some (like Battlefield V) that are not really single-thread limited anymore.

 

E-sports games are pretty much the only semi-modern titles that exclusively care about single-core performance, all the rest tend to need both single and multi-core performance. (and 3rd gen Ryzen's lowest non-APU offerings still significantly beat the i5 8400 in every way)

Oo I didn't know that, thanks
