I'm using a 5060 Ti graphics card along with an i5-12400F processor, but I'm noticing that neither my GPU nor CPU usage goes above 40%. My CPU temps are pretty cool, staying around 40-50 degrees Celsius. What could be causing this issue?

You're right to question your setup; an i5-12400F should not be holding back a 5060 Ti that much. Typically, in X-Plane 12 at 1080p, you might see it struggle in heavy scenes, which can make it feel like a CPU bottleneck even with lower CPU usage. Upgrading the CPU might help your frame rates.
It would help to know your frame rate, the game you're playing, your settings, and resolution. If you're mainly playing X-Plane 12 and getting about 30-40 FPS on medium-high settings at 1080p, that sounds pretty sketchy. There might be some optimization issues.
Yeah, definitely check those settings. It's surprising how much they can affect performance.
Thanks! Looks like a CPU upgrade might be the way to go.
