I've recently upgraded my rig with an R7 2700x and a new RX6800, alongside 32 GB of RAM. Since getting my new GPU, I've been monitoring its performance and noticed my CPU usage is often below 50%. I'm currently playing with low to medium settings and getting around 100-120 FPS. This feels a little off to me, and I'm curious if anyone has insights on whether there's a critical BIOS setting or something in Adrenalin I should check out to improve my FPS. Thanks in advance for your help!

If you're looking to boost your FPS, upgrading to a CPU like the 5700X might give you a significant bump—like 30-50% more FPS! Just keep in mind that you probably won't see full CPU usage during gaming; that's more common in demanding tasks like video editing.
It's pretty common not to hit 100% CPU usage while gaming, especially with a less powerful CPU. Most modern games, including CS2, rely more on your GPU, so seeing it maxed out makes more sense. Your RX6800 is likely doing the heavy lifting here, leaving your CPU a bit underutilized.
CS2 can be quite demanding on your CPU compared to other games. Your setup is solid, but for demanding titles, consider looking into a CPU upgrade if you want to push those FPS numbers higher. Just be cautious with settings; they play a big role!
