GPU usage in multiplayer vs offline

[ItsCranBerry]

Hey, I noticed that I get significantly more fps in a custom game of Valorant than on Deathmatch or Comp. At first I figured it would be because more people more things to render in, but I am not so sure that is the case. My GPU usage in a custom match is around 90-99%, but on deathmatch it drops to around 40-50%. My CPU almost never goes above 45% usage and neither CPU or GPU are thermal throttled. CPU runs around 50 C while in game for a while and GPU around the 70 C mark. I am more curious as to why GPU usage drops dramatically when in a multiplayer environment rather than a single. It would also be nice to have the 400 ish fps I get in a custom compared to the 240 ish I get in a actual game. In both occasions the fps is unlocked. If anyone has any ideas feel free to let me know!

GPU: RTX 2060 

CPU: Intel i5-10600KF

 

Note: All drivers up to date. RAM speed at 2666... I know its slow.

I'm not sure, but if you host a custom game, you might be hosting the game with your PC acting a s a server.
