#Low gpu usage but very high cpu usage
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
some games just dont use much GPU, if its got well optimised graphics the CPU will hold it back
its just that those games your playing arent GPU intensive
but the thing is i had a friend show me his task mngr performance and his gpu was hitting 60 with like half as much cpu usage as me
we have the same gpu but he has a better cpu being the ryzen 7 7700x
That would result in less cpu usage
Same settings in game?
If you are both playing at 1080p, yours will use the cpu more as the cpu is the bottleneck. With your friend having the better cpu, the cpu can keep up with the frames thus offloading the work more onto the gpu.
