GPU not ramping up while gaming

[Avira]

I bought my pc about a year ago, had a friend help me put it together, Its a i5 9600K overclocked to 4.3 in windows but it bios says 3.7 with a MSI 2070 GamingZ with 16gb of corsair ram clocked at 3000 mhz on a Asus Prime b350m-a I know this board only supports 2666mhz ive order some new ram just waiting for it to come in, but I havent overclocked the ram is only at 2300mhz in the bios but when I go into windows it says its at 1329mhz. While im playing game such as League,overwatch,COD,minecraft, some more high intense games as well my cpu is using 90% to 100% in higher demanding games and 40% to 50% in less demanding games, while my 2070 isnt evening using 20% in higher intense games, I just want to know if something is bottlenecking the GPU from ramping up or in some cases even use it. Looking to play games at a Average to High FPS with my Gpu usage being higher and less stress on my CPU. 

 

ANY HELP WOULD BE APERICATED AND OPEN TO ANWSER ANY QUESTIONS

This could indicate a bottleneck or a game that is more cpu bound.

Is Call of Duty Cold War more Cpu bound im confused on what your saying sorry im not good with computers

okay ill try that, but why wouldnt it ramp up my gpu if my cpu is at 100% at like 80 fps?

read up on the different roles of the CPU and GPU

Because your cpu is responsible to serve data (ie game data, assets, textures etc) to the gpu and if your cpu is at or close to 100% it means it isn't fast enough and your gpu will constantly *wait* for new data from cpu, which means it (the gpu) will not be used to its full potential, or even close. 

 

Now maybe you have a lot of background apps running like YouTube, browsers, programs, anti virus, etc etc, if you do turn those off and see if there's any improvements... 

If you don't then it's probably time to buy a better cpu that will not be at or close to 100% all the time (or at all) while playing more demanding games.
