Lately I’ve done some benchmarks and recorded my gpu usage which averaged 40%.

I really don’t know what to do since I’ve tried everything (changing power plan, nvidia settings, driver updates etc.) but I might just go to the guy who made my pc and pay him to see what’s up.

If anyone can help out it’ll be a huge help.

Specs:

RTX 3060

i5 10400f

16GB 3000MHz RAM

600W PSU

1TB SSD, 2TB HDD

PRIME B560M-K Mobo

On my benchmark it said my GPU is the problem but it’s quite literally the most expensive part in my whole build so I don’t get how it could be the GPU.

    this is a cpu bottleneck, whenever your playing a game see and 99% cpu usage and 40% gpu its the cpu or vice versa

    I ran a quick test using https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/

    "Intel Core i5-10400F is too weak for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 on 1920 × 1080 pixels screen resolution for General Tasks.

    This configuration has 31.8% of processor bottleneck ."

    Indeed, this might be the problem. I myself struggled with a bottleneck a couple of months ago with an NVIDIA RTX 3060 and an Intel i5 2500k. I upgraded to a Ryzen 5800x and the problem was fixed.

    If you can’t solve the problem through any other way, that is the CPU I recommend you buy.

      That’s general tasks. You’d have to go Graphical Tasks since OP is talking about games.
