How do i find out if my rig work at its full potential?
Ok so i installed the MSI Afterburner and did some testing. The gpu reaches 99% , but the CPU never goes above 50%. Shouldn't it go higher?
Edit: i ran a stress test with prime95 and checked the task manager: cpu was running at 99%
As a general rule of thumb your GPU usage should be 100% in games and your CPU usage should ideally be as low as possible without it affecting framerate in games, Prime95 is not a benchmark, if you want to know if you're getting the most out of your hardware then use Cinebench for checking CPU performance and Unigine Heaven or Valley for GPU performance, and if you want to know if your system as a whole is running at it's best then use PCMark.
HOWEVER! And I really must stress this part the most, only compare your scores to other systems with the EXACT SAME HARDWARE. Check your scores either in the application or on forums and see whether or not it's performing as well as others are.
