Ooh great wizards of the internets. The geniuses of the techies. I've come to you in these troubled times with questions and problems, bad grammar and spelling errors.

Well as the title says. I'm having problems with my computer/games not using the full power of my PC.
Games like Cyberpunk2077, Squad, Inquisitor-Martyr, Battlefield 1 and 5. Only using less then 50% of both the CPU and GPU.
Frame rate might be around 60 sometimes. A few times higher. But no matter what settings I put some of the games on there will be no change in fps.
While some games. Right now I play Elite Dangerous. I can run all on Ultra. Super sampling on 2x and still hit 100+ fps and it's using all the power of the PC.

My specs are:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6 GHz 19MB (Not overclocked)
Motherboard: MSI X470 GAMING PLUS
RAM: Corsair 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Vengeance LPX (A few tweeks in BIOS to make it run 3200MHz without it BSOD)
GPU: GeForce® RTX 2070 SUPER™ GAMING OC 8G (The ™ is important. But no additional overclocking)
PSU: Fractal Design Tesla R2 650W 80+ Gold
RGB: Non. But I did get a fancy miniature Millennium falcon LED desk lamp.

Could it just be that the games aren't optimized for my specs? CPU on the lower side since it's "only" Zen+? PSU somehow not handling the power right or is about to crap out on me?
No problems running cinebench or 3Dmark to test things. 100% all the time there.

Was sadden by getting into Cyberpunk. Not by the constant crashes when doing some dialogues, even BSOD a few times, but the fps just been "okey" with a few stutters and seen only a few % of CPU and GPU usage.

Linked a few screens of performants use in a few games. And DxDiag for more system info.

And to get a few things out there.
New installed computer after a hardcrash of my windows NVMe SSD so no old drivers lurking.
No overclock but a change in BIOS to make my RAM run at correct speed.
Yes the latest drivers for everything.

Any help what so ever is appreciated.

I think it might just be normal. 1080p a very hard resolution to run any modern gpu at full potential. the 2600x has 6 cores but relatively low IPC and kinda meh clock speeds. For games that don't use all 6 cores to 100% it becomes very mediocre and can't run modern GPUs. Upgrading to a 1440p monitor should shift more load on the GPU and possibly even give you more FPS in some cases.

Could be. I am looking at getting the 5600x when the bios update drops. Think that maybe will help?

That will definitely help a bit but personally I would recommend going 1440p first then pick up a 5600x once bios drops and supply picks up. You are going to have to anyway once you decided to get a new GPU.
