GPU usage is pegged at 83%

Why?
I am having the opposite problem to what people on really high end rigs had, instead it won't use my decade old GPU to full capacity.

gpus are rarely getting to 100% if so not a good look for ur setup

I don't think you understand how computers work.

I'm on a lower end system, and yes the GPU is supposed to be running 99% unless you've got it frame capped or with vsync on or something.

what i mean by that is sure u can always max out a gpu if u want to run it down, but with a good setup nothing should go to max cap. u dont drive ur car with only in gear 4 and drive on max momentum

And you're clearly having no clue what I am talking about, nor helping. If you're getting 24 fps on max settings yes you do. And yes, it's literally supposed to be the GPU that's the bottleneck in gaming most of the time. Yes, it's normal to be running a GPU at 99% while gaming because that's literally what it's designed to do. No, it's not like "driving a car in gear 4"if you're going to use this example at least sound like you have a clue what you're talking about, it's called 4th gear, clearly you don't know how to drive a stick shift either other than fans there are no moving parts, you're not "running it down" which is why you can still buy 10 year old gaming GPUs that work fine.

Like you're at the level where you're so clueless you don't even understand why you're being both clueless and not helpful and also technically illiterate at the same time. This must be what dealing with a Lexmechanic actually feels like. I'm getting under 30 frames per second at my settings. Like I don't even understand why you're trying to argue with me, you clearly don't know anything about PC gaming. Please go watch some tech videos.

It's clearly not supposed to be running at 80-83% I'm suspecting this is some kind of unity engine problem. Which is funny because of the fact it also was causing 3080's to be pegged at full usage, so having a massively lower end GPU pegged well below capacity too is pretty funny. Obviously no, it's not a CPU bound issue, it's an older machine so I can't get it to run anywhere near 60fps at high settings 1080p and any performance I can squeeze out matters atm.

That's literally not true lol. Anything below 100% is performance left on the table, enthusiasts always shoot for 100% utilization if heat and power draw is not a issue.. Anything below that means there is a bottle neck.. Be it the cpu, you deciding to play at a lower fixed frame rate, engine not able to keep up, etc etc.
Any modern game out there, unless you cap frames or other such stuff, should have 100% gpu utilization.
