Help needed!

I'm sorry if I've put this in the wrong forum but I've got a 2400g CPU and a Vega 64 a weird combo I know. So I checked if my CPU was bottlenecking my PC by looking at Usage percentage and it said my CPU was at 70% and my gpu was at 98%. If so why did everyone say this will be a really bad bottle neck.

A lot of people will tell you if you have a bottleneck without asking what software you're using or your performance target, etc. There are plenty of applications or games where there's no problem with a 2400G and Vega 64.

 

What games are you playing, what refresh rates and resolution?

I play games like red dead redemption 2 at 1080p ultra settings and other games that are graphics heavy

how does RDR2 play?  the percentages don't look bottleneckish to me, but what do I know.

That can be perfectly normal. 

Always depending on the game or workload you have. 

There will be games that cause usages like you put there and there will be games that cause gpu usages in the 50% range. 

But still that doesn't mean you gain nothing from this gpu. Even when cpu bottlenecked and not being able to get more than 60fps for example a better gpu can still do better graphics at those 60 fps. Just not more fps because you're cpu can't give your gpu more fps to process.

It's quite gpu heavy on max settings 1080p and gives about 50-60 fps.

Thanks that's quite useful I didn't realize that's how it worked.

RDR2, like you said, is a GPU heavy game.

Seeing ~70% on a 4-core / 8-thread is more or less correct.

 

With Vega 56 getting average 51/52 FPS on maximum settings, it looks like you are running fine.

With a 2400g/rx 5700 I was at 100% gpu and 80% cpu usage playing rdr2. The 1600 af Im using now is around 65% cpu usage with 2 more cores. Sounds about normal to me
