Hey everyone, I'm a newbie to PC gaming and just got my hands on a new setup. I've got an ROG Strix Radeon RX 6700 XT GPU paired with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU. After trying out a few games, it feels like my GPU isn't performing as well as it should, possibly being bottlenecked by the CPU. Can anyone help me figure out if this combination causes bottlenecks?

What makes you think there's a bottleneck? What games have you been testing and at what resolution? Sometimes, people jump the gun on bottlenecking without enough info.
I've noticed my GPU usage rarely hits above 90%, while my CPU is only around 20%. I’ve run games like Destiny 2 and Black Ops 6 at 1080p on a 180Hz monitor. Even on the lowest settings, I’m only getting around 90-110 FPS, and I've checked I don’t have any FPS caps set.
