LOW FPS with low Hardware usage.

[ChelbySobras]

Hello. I still considere my self pretty ignorant in theese kind of things so my question migth be a little stupid but anyways, 

 

My current specs:

R5 2600 No OC (I have a R 7 5700X on the way, should arrive in the next few days)

RTX 2060 Gigabyte Windforce

32 Gb Ram @3200

Playing at 1080p

 

On my games I always have everything in low, usage is usually 50% or less on both GPU and CPU.

My logic tells me that if the game is not demanding as much from the hardware, I should be getting better performance, but its not the case.

 

Example, if my GPU and CPU are only at 50% usage, why dont they deliver more FPS?

Is upgrading my GPU my only solution?

 

Id like to have at least 120 FPS on the games im getting 60 to 80 FPS

But what I really want is constant 144 FPS at 1080p (Im thinking about upgrading to a 3060TI or 3070 whenever I can.

 

But still, I feel like my 2060 should perform better than it is.

 

Why do I only get 60 to 80 FPS on my games?

 

Games I play:

 

Escape From Tarkov (I know this game is not optimized so we can ignore this one. I actually get 50 to 60 fps here.)

 

Games I get 60 - 80 Fps

 

Call of Duty Warzone

Call of Duty Warzone 2.0

 

Games I get 110 to 135 FPS

Call of Duty MW 2 (2022) Multiplayer

 

 

Thanks to everyone who likes to help!

Set up MSI afterburner to show per-core CPU usage, see if a single core/thread is pinned at 80-90% or higher. Could just be choking over single core performance, as that's pretty shite on Zen+. The 5700X should be much better, really strong cores on Zen 2 and newer, if you still have the same issue then something else is being funky.

yeah, that is true in theory,  but if you set everything at low the hardware may be content with what it's doing... nothing to push so it doesn't...

 

i have many games that don't even make my hardware boost ... they run

basically at idle/ fans off... 

 

It also depends what you mean with performance and what you're actually getting... maybe you have v-sync on or whatever? 

 

 

best way to figure out if theres an issue is 3dmark Firestrike benchmark (demo on steam) it's pretty realistic and good at pushing hardware... then you can compare with similar systems to check if your hardware (and system settings) are how they should be. 

 

 

otherwise there are just too many variables to say for certain.

that... sounds pretty normal or even good however... (for a 2060?)
