Low GPU usage

[cheap_shot]

I have a I3 9100f, 2060 super 8gb, 16gb ram and an SSD

Watching youtube benchmarks and my i3 is getting 8gb 4060's to 99% usage in cyberpunk

But mine rarely goes above 50% in cyberpunk even with ultra ray tracing

while I constantly get 30fps frame drops with 100% CPU usage

Are these benchmarks fake ?

Or any suggestions

Id call that video bullshit.

As a 4 core cpu just is NOT going to max a 2060 in those games.

This 3060ti is constantly above 90% in cyberpunk too

Make sure your CPU boost properly and doesn't thermal throttle. 

 

Yeah those benches properly fake/misleading.

CPU is at 50-60degrees at 100%
I get 80fps on high in AC Mirage no problem

you understand that since this is a screen capture you will never be able to tell what hardware it's actually running on, right?   

 

plus "reviews" often trick you with settings, like they'll say "high" but its really *low* you couldn't tell anyways with a how bad youtube compression is.

 

 

tldr: your cpu really is weak, and gpu ain't too hot either.

here's a video that's unlikely to be fake...

I have used an i5 2500k and R9 290 to play Cyberpunk 2077 in the past, performance was not great with the i5 2500k was at around 60% usage. Even though the i3 is 7 generations newer it gets basically the same 4 threaded performance and your rtx 2060 is about 90% faster then the R9 290.

Your cpu should be able to run cyberpunk at 1080p low 60fps.

I'd recommend not having anything running in the background while you play (check task manager), maybe install msi afterburner and set up the on screen display to make sure cyberpunk is properly utilizing your processor.

 

Your best bet is to upgrade your CPU. You can get a CC150 for around 70 USD and it's a 8 core 16 thread 3.5ghz processor, it's single thread performance is lacking but at its price its multithread performance is great.
