CPU and GPU Usage capped?

[Philter]

Hello,

 

Nvidia RTX 2060 Super

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6x3.6Ghz

2x8GB RAM 3200Mhz

 

While gaming:

Usage GPU: 80%

Usage CPU: 70%
Experiencing 40FPS less than people with the same GPU, CPU and RAM. There is no problem with the game settings

Temps CPU: up to 90 degrees Celsius and GPU: up to 80 degrees Celsius.

 

Drivers all updated, windows updated, reinstalled windows even. Optimized Windows Power Mode Management and Performance Options for the max performance. Also optimized Nvidia Settings.

 

What is wrong?

Check the CPU per core speed, pretty sure that at least 1 core is at 100%.

Thats also a bit warm on both, might want to think about some better case ventilation.

There you have your answer.

Both, the CPU and the graphics card will drop the clock frequency to prevent overheating.

You can use GPU-Z to check your graphics cards thermal limits, temperature, clock speed and boost clock.

I second this. You either need better airflow in your case or to replace thermal paste.

HW Monitor shows a value of around 50-80% and a max of 100% everywhere.

Where exactly can I check this in GPU-Z?

There you go. All the cores have been maxed out at some point, probably at a similar time

 

don you have your ram xmp on?

Max Temp is 88 degrees, Clock speed is 1800Mhz while gaming and fans are at 80%

yes

I'm going to say that your PC is running too hot and it's reducing clocks. Most likely your case is at fault since the front is almost fully closed, air cant go inside. Remove the side panel and check what happens.
