2060 low usage in some games

[ahmedopo]

i have a

 

rtx 2060

ryzen 5 1600x

2 x 8 ram 3000 mhz

 

from the looks of it i should have no problems at all but i get in assassins creed origins and odyssey around 30-60 fps and gpu utilization is always below 60 and 70%

tried a bunch of fixes some in nvidia's panel and only odyssey improved by a small margin started to get to 80% usage gpu

 

my cpu usage never exceeds 80% in the matter of fact it reaches 80% occasionally not always

pls help me i ran out of options

Resolution under 1080p?

Likely CPU bottleneck.

Assassin's Creed games always had very bad optimizations. Have you tried different games?

I will not use any ac game as reference to benchmark a gpu. Those games are terrible and known for their optimization problems. Overwatch is a very stable game, Counter strike, even Forknife.

i tried everything 1080p, 900p with resolution scale 120%, 140% and even 200% the gpu usage rises but never exceeds 90%

pretty much every other game is fine except a these 2 and a few old games like xcom2 and deus ex mankind on dx12 is the same problem

and a friend of mine have the same card and problem but in gta v 

gta v works fine with me

they all work pretty good when i scale the res in Overwatch for ex. gpu usage rises above 90 and 95%

its just annoying that people with 1080, 1070 and even 1060 can max out AC Origins and get above 60 fps and i with a 2060 cant even get past 50 fps on very low settings

I think it's most likely because of the poor optimization (+DRM) and your CPU that you're seeing such low FPS. Your processor is kind of weak, definitely a bottleneck for a 2060. I'd suggest upgrading to 3600.

if it was a bottleneck it will get to 100% and stay high most of the time but its stable at 60% with occasional 80% usage

Not at all, you can have CPU usage at 20% and be bottlenecked.

 

100% means "using all CPU threads fully", 12 in your case. 

If a game can't use more than 2 threads it's never going to be able to use more than 17% of your CPU.

 

That's why higher performance per core is more important for a CPU's performance in games than number of cores/threads. Some recent games can make use of more threads, but still usually not more than 8.

Yep, it is like he asks for advice, but he does not want to listen. I had a 4570 with a gtx 760 and it worked fine but I wanted more fps so I bought a gtx 1070 and still had 8gb of ram too. The bottleneck of fps was caused by the CPU and the RAM being only 1600 Mhz and 8 gb. Before upgrading the cpu and ram I was getting barely 144 fps with several drops below and even struggle to maintain the fps at a steady pace in Overwatch. I got a Ryzen 3600 and 3200 Mhz memory 8gbx2. The fps reached 240 with ease and the input lag was clearly lower and the fps felt smooth as they were when i had 4570 and gtx 760 combo. Obviously I didnt upgrade the monitor which is a 144hz with freesync.
