CPU high, GPU low

[Berserker Panda]

So I've noticed that my cpu ussage is higher than my gpu. I'm pretty sure its bottlenecking. My specs are-

 

Motherboard- Asus prime z390-a

GPU- rtx 2060 super

CPU- intel i7-8700k

every system will bottleneck at low graphics settings/resolutions. also depends on the game.

my settings/resolutions are on high.

Umm yes Maybe You're GPU is Too high but The CPUs is too Low?, ill give an Screenshot Of my Laptops And lets See if the Problem is same

Yeah, my GPU is only at 1% when idling on the desktop, too...

 

If you're gaming, and your GPU isn't very high, try turning up the graphics quality. That can move some of the load off your CPU onto your GPU.

My GPU graphics are at high, I was thinking of unplugging it and plugging it back

are you referring to desktop or non-gaming situation? if yes then gpu will work at minimum since aside then gaming/graphic bound application the utilization of your gpu will very minimum. desktop is using very low gpu resources compared to gaming.

oh, noes, I hope you can fix it somehow! Did you think of mining?

So I'm playing re3 (remake) at high settings currently (using about 6GB vram) at 1440p / 60 fps, gpu usage is around 39%, cpu usage is around... 15%.

 

Where is the bottleneck? if I lower settings it'll just use even less resources... 

 

The bolded is absolutely correct though!

Unplug, insert weed, plug back in?

What a great idea!

 

I don't even pay for my own electricity...

 

The only problem is that my newest GPU is a Vega 64.

Overall, I've noticed that my CPU is being utilized more than my GPU.

I mean its never really happened before and was wondering what I could do to make my GPU higher than my cpu

The problem with this is you're just saying "it's like that, idk why!" but you aren't saying what's running when this happens, if you're playing games, watching YouTube or whatever... 

 

 

in the screen shot you posted it kinda looks like Chrome / yt is running or something, certainly not a demanding game... or you have a crypto miner installed or something if that's actually *idle*... 

 

The point is you need to give more info on what's happening and why you think that's a problem, because otherwise this looks all fairly normal and not like an actual question or problem.

jow much fps are u getting?

[LOST TALE]

try turning on extreme graphics in ur desktop

[MadPistol]

On the desktop, a GPU will rarely be utilized much. The CPU is doing much more work when running items like Chrome and other basic applications. The GPU doesn't really begin to do work until you're running something like a game. Even when Chrome is set to hardware acceleration (mainly for youtube and other programs that can be GPU accelerated), it still very rarely uses much of the available power on the GPU.

Now, if GPU utilization is low in a game, that's a completely different rabbit hole.
