GPU only at 70%

[MultiSkitzo]

So im getting low fps in-game and I checked the CPU and GPU and there is a 100% on the CPU and only 70% on the GPU when I play Destiny 2, any suggestion to what I can do?
Thanks for helping!

Specs: 
GeForce GTX 1050Ti
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500 CPU @3.20Hz
16 GB RAM
On a 144hz monitor (1920x1080)

If you are at 100% on the CPU and less than 100% on GPU, then your CPU is the problem, causing a bottleneck. Only way you can correct this is to upgrade your CPU. The best CPU you can get on your platform, assuming you have a B or H Series board, is to get an i7 6700.

What if I have B150 Gaming K4 as motherboard, should I still buy the i7 6700?

Yes, it´s a decent upgrade to your 6500

alright, juts had to make sure that the motherboard can handle the core, thanks!

upgrading the cpu is fine and all 

 

but you could also turn up the graphics setting and put more load on the gpu

what do you mean? So I should not play games on low settings then?

He is saying that you can use HIGHER graphics at little to no performance loss since your GPU isn't at 100%

I see, thanks.

.. i5 Is perfectly fine. The 1050 TI is the problem. Or either he is plugged in to the iGPU on the motherboard and not the GPU itself.

I have the same CPU. It's certainly a bottleneck in some titles that are CPU-heavy (looking at you, Assassin's Creed).

 

Upgrading from a stock cooler to a Hyper 212 had slight but noticeable gains.

 

I think 6thOnTheLeft is right though; i'd be surprised if the 1050ti could handle Destiny 2.
