GPU and CPU Usage

[Bradster12399]

Hi guys, I'm fairly new to the forums but desperately looking for someone to help me with a computing issue I'm currently facing. 

 

I've had my PC now for about 7 months, and am getting CPU and GPU usages of roughly 30% at max... During gaming it's meaning I'm losing tons of frames is bringing down the overall experience of gaming... I've attempted a reinstall of windows which didn't work, setting stuff to high performance etc. without any success. Any help would be massively appreciated! 

 

P.S Specs below, and So sorry if this wasn't the correct forum to post this in! Have a swell day!! 

 

GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Gaming X 6GB GDDR5

CPU AMD Ryzen 3600 6Core Processor

RAM: 16GB GDDR4 3200mHz 

PSU: 450+w

what are you using to monitor the cpu and gpu usage? both being in a similar percentage isn't common. in games to stress your gpu, set the game to 720p low settings with no frame cap. if you gpu doesn't hit 90% usage you do indeed have issues. you don't want to be looking at the fps though as that will be limited by your cpu and what the maximum number it can render
