I've been playing Marvel Rivals for about six months and I'm facing a weird problem. My PC specs are a Ryzen 5 5600X CPU, an RTX 3080 GPU, and 32GB of 3200MHz DDR4 RAM. I'm gaming at 2560x1440 resolution with all settings set to low, and using DLSS on the ultra performance mode. I usually get around 150 FPS during battles, but I've noticed my CPU usage hits 100% while my GPU usage only hovers around 50-55%. This seems odd since my GPU was running just fine in previous games like Overwatch. Is it possible that newer games are requiring more from the CPU, or is my CPU starting to fail? I'm thinking about upgrading to a 5700X3D, but I can't find it available anywhere around here. Is there a way to boost my GPU usage? And is 150 FPS normal for a setup like mine with a 5600X and 3060?

Newer games tend to be more demanding on the CPU, so it’s not just you. Your CPU isn’t degrading or anything like that. To boost your GPU usage, try increasing the graphics quality settings. You’ll get better visuals without stressing the CPU as much.
Oh, cool! I'll give that a shot. Do you think upgrading to a 5700X3D would be useful for me?
