i couldn't find anything useful in the internet so i hope u guys can help me out

that's just how destiny 2 works

you WANT the game to use %100 of your GPU? if you have extra headroom, turn some setting up or play at a higher resolution. or just be happy this doesnt need alot of your GPUs power and that your pc will run cooler cuz its not at %100

I have everything on max 1440p 6800xt and i never see 99% which is good for me pc stays cool

Yes because I want my hardware to do what it was made and bought for. Getting lows of 70 fps because the game is only using 30% of my gpu and cpu is stupid and a waste of hardware.

Mine is at 100%, but then it's getting old, GTX1080.

I have everything maxed and get over 200FPS in orbit when uncapped, but I cap at 120 and get down to as low as 80s for bit in some places. I normally don't even monitor FPS, game feels smooth so I don't worry. I have a 165Hz display so 165 would be nice, but not reasonable for me to expect that. I asked about the CPU, because if the CPU can't feed the GPU fast enough then the GPU usage will be lower than 100%, I think RAM can also impact that as well. So, in those times, is you CPU showing 100%?

If that is a K series CPU and you have an overclock, you might try removing the overclock. Sometimes what one might consider to be a stable overclock is only not crashing but performing worse than stock clock.

Same goes for RAM as the CPU.

One common thing to cause people issues is all those cool apps, do you have a bunch of things that launch with Windoze? Do you have security software, could your PC have been hijacked to perform some task, I heard that some can mask their use. I know someone who plays this on an FX 8350 with a GeForce 560 (no not 100FPS LOL).

it's not a k series so i cant overclock it, it might be a ram problem then, because i only have 8GB single channel 2400 ram stick and i will be upgrading soon , and for the running apps in the back ground or something else i just literally installed steam and discord it's a fresh windows
