Hey everyone! I'm struggling to maintain consistent high frame rates in League of Legends and CS2 with my current PC setup. I'd love your help in finding out what's causing the bottleneck in performance.

Here's what I'm working with:
- **CPU:** Ryzen 5 3600
- **GPU:** RTX 2060 Super 8GB
- **RAM:** 16GB DDR4 3200MHz

I'm finding it tough to stay above **144 FPS** in both games, and in **LoL**, my framerate drops to around **90 FPS** in late-game situations.

I've been using Afterburner to keep an eye on my CPU and GPU usage and temperatures.
- **GPU Temperature:** roughly 75°C
- **GPU Usage:** 60-70%
- **CPU Temperature:** about 50°C
- **CPU Usage:** 40-50%

I'm a bit puzzled as to why neither component is maxing out at 100% usage, making it tricky to identify the real issue. **What steps can I take to accurately diagnose which part of my system is bottlenecking my performance?** Any insights or testing methods would be super helpful!

Are you using V-sync? It can make your GPU a bottleneck if it isn't running close to 100% utilization. If it's on, consider turning it off to see if performance improves.

Also, make sure your game is set to full-screen mode. Running in windowed or borderless can affect performance, especially with older titles.
