Hey everyone! I just upgraded to a 4070 Super in my setup with an i7 12700F and 32GB of 3200MHz DDR4 RAM. I'm experiencing fluctuating GPU utilization between 60% and 90% even while playing at max settings in games like Avatar and Helldivers 2 at 1440p. I used to have a 3060 Ti in the same system, and I didn't face any issues before. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

It sounds like Helldivers 2 is pretty CPU-heavy, which could be causing the lower GPU utilization. Have you checked your CPU usage while playing? If a core is maxed out, that might be the issue.
You might be facing a CPU bottleneck. Take a look at your single-core CPU usage; if any of them is hitting 100%, that's likely your culprit. As long as you're still getting decent FPS, it's not a huge deal, though! You could also try using DSR to push a higher resolution and put more load on your GPU.
Got it! I'm currently using Corsair VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) at 3200MHz. Would that affect anything?
