Why is my CPU maxed out while my GPU is barely used during gaming?

Asked By TechWhiz98 On

I recently upgraded my system and have noticed some lag in my games. After checking the performance, I found that my CPU is running at nearly 100% usage, but my GPU is only at 30%. I thought it should be the other way around for optimal gaming performance. Is it possible that I have a bottleneck, or am I missing something in my setup?

It sounds like there might be a mismatch in your game settings or some background processes eating up CPU resources. Can you share your full specs? That'll help figure this out.

Also, check your monitor resolution and graphics settings. If you're running at 1080p on high or ultra settings with your specs, the CPU could easily be overwhelmed depending on the game. What's your exact setup?

Sure! I have a Ryzen 5 5600x CPU, an RTX 5060 8GB GPU, and I play on a 1920x1080 monitor with high or ultra settings.
