Low GPU and CPU usage when gaming.

[Kyozo]

Specs:

GPU: RTX 3070 8GB GAMING OC (rev 2.0)

CPU: AMD 5 Ryzen 3600

RAM: Corsair vengeance 16gb 3000mhz

MoBo: MSI B550-A-PRO

PSU: Corsair RM750W

 

I've been getting low GPU and CPU usage in various games I've been playing (Hell Let Loose, Squad, Tarkov) the usage varies depending what game but is always low, in HLL my GPU can sometimes be 20-40% and CPU around the same. I play on Ultra settings at 1080p resolution. HLL I get 50 FPS, Squad I get 90 FPS, Tarkov is around 70-80 FPS.

 

I've tried various fixes which include: Adjusting Nvidia Panel 3D panel settings e.g turning power management to high performance, setting a few other settings to high performance. I've performed a DDU and installed latest driver and even before that I did I manual uninstall and installed the latest driver. I've updated BIOS, Ive updated MoBo Drivers, I've turned off Xbox Game bar and gaming mode. I've turned off high precision event timer, I've turned off fast boot. I made sure my RAM is Dual Channelling. I reset BIOS and made sure to change RAM MHZ to 3000. My power mode is set to Ryzen High Performance. I feel Like I've done everything at this point. I built this pc about 4 months ago but had a 1050ti in it as I was unable to get my hands on a GPU, and I got my 3070 about a week ago.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

You're CPU bottlenecked. Those frames are completely normal for a 3600. You can try overclocking your CPU and RAM, but the only real fix is an upgrade, in which case I would wait for Intel 12th gen (about 1 month)

Ahhh damn it, I only got the CPU a few months ago. I may wait a year perhaps a little longer so I feel that I have at least gotten something out of my 3600

I get low usage when playing games with both cpu and gpu. Im not sure whether to upgrade my cpu, gpu or both to get solid 240fps in games like valorant.
