Should my usage be like this?

[Nicholas_65]

Hello everyone, just back for more questions. while bored and gaming i just keep the MSI afterburner overlay open to observe my system's temps but throughout this week I've noticed that in pretty much every game i play my GPU will always sit around 95~100% usage at 69-75°c and my CPU will literally relax at around 52°c 25-35% usage while gaming, is this something i should be looking into or is it fine? Even with hella apps open, streaming to friends no matter the game, whether it be Warthunder, R6, Minecraft, Cyberpunk, RDR2, FH5, DBH and many, many more, all running at V-High to Ultra settings at 1440p and some even with Ray Tracing enabled. full specs are on my profile. Basic is as follows: R9 5900x, 3080, 32 GB 3600 MHz ram. Could this be a sign of a bottleneck? 

 

Any insight will be much appreciated.

That is completely fine and normal.

 

Games don't typically use more than 6-8 threads, your CPU has 24 threads. This means that I wouldn't expect your CPU usage to ever go above 35% when gaming (cause while a third of your threads might be maxxed, the others will likely be idle).

Sounds like your R9 5900X and 3080 and pretty evenly matched.

That looks fine to me.  I rarely if ever see 99% GPU usage with my GPU, it sits around 85-95% in most games.

Considering you have a 12 core / 24 threaded CPU, I think that 25-35% usage is exactly where its supposed to be.

With my 8 core / 16 threaded CPU, I see around the same usage % and sometimes up to 50%.

 

I see absolutely nothing wrong here or anything concerning.  All good

Gpu should be around 100% cpu doesn't need to be betted than cpu usage 100% that's the real bottle neck

I do think this is kind of a bug, either in software or the cards , ex. my 3070 would almost always go to 99%... yet my 5070 almost always goes to 100% (in benchmarks and most games)

 

I know it doesn't make a huge difference obviously,just saying it's something I noticed and it's a bit sus lol. 

 

(PS: also we're probably talking about 3D usage only, that's another huge rabbit hole...)

I was thinking it just meant his CPU was slightly bottlenecking his GPU?

I mean it could but I'm seeing this in all kinds of stuff including benchmarks where no CPU core is above 50%... And switching to a stronger GPU makes it 100... (so can't really be bottleneck)

Alright, I appreciate everyone's insight. I was just wondering because every time I launched a game and saw that my CPU was snoozing on the job, Never going above 30%, it was annoying me. But I'm glad that nothing's out of the ordinary. Thanks!
