Low CPU + GPU usage - RTX3080/i9-11900k

[scury17]

Hello everyone!

 

Since I wasn't familiar with the topic two years ago, I bought a prebuild PC. An Acer Predator PO5-625S with a RTX3080 and an i9-11900k.

I'll take Fortnite as an example. In Fortnite, I used the MSI Afterburner to control the data.

I get about 280FPS on average (with frame drops), the temperature of the CPU and GPU are both in the range of 60 degrees Celsius. The utilization of the CPU and GPU is at about a level of 35%.

 

Why is that?

 

Thank you for your help!

either the readings are inaccurate or neither has anything to do.

fortnite isn't exactly a challenge for that cpu regardless

not sure why the GPU usage is low, but CPU usage is mainly because your CPU has many cores, and the game utilized like 4cores at best, utilization accounts for all cores and threads, so if you have 12 core CPU with 24 threads and the game only uses 1 core and no more, then the usage can be even sub 10%

 

how are your other components?

 

PSU, RAM and storage where the game is?

Hey, in Minecraft I have around 800 FPS. That's awesome but the usage there is also around 40% both.

Minecraft is a simple game, it cant use your gpu to 100%
