Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out if my current PC setup is good for gaming and streaming. I have a Ryzen 5 8500G processor paired with an RTX 4060 graphics card. I've noticed that my CPU spikes to 50% usage when I'm playing Minecraft, especially when I'm loading chunks (I usually play with 15 chunks, using the Create mod, at 1080p and 100Hz). During this time, my GPU seems to be barely utilized. Is this normal, or could something be wrong? I was hoping this setup would last me at least two years without needing upgrades. Any advice would be appreciated!

Yeah, that’s pretty normal! Minecraft is known to be really CPU-intensive and doesn’t rely heavily on the graphics card. Each game utilizes the CPU and GPU differently, and it sounds like your setup is doing just fine for that game.
Thanks for clarifying! I appreciate it, have a great day!
