High GPU, Low CPU Usage Issue

[lesser me]

Hi everyone,

I’m seeing some unusual performance while playing Marvel Rivals and wonder if anyone else has faced this. My system:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti
Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
Resolution: 1080p

My GPU usage stays at 99%, with clocks at 1965 MHz, while CPU usage is only 50-60%. Interestingly, my CPU clock stays stable at 4450 MHz when not in the game but fluctuates between 4000-4450 MHz in-game.

At 1080p, my FPS fluctuates a lot, going from 200 down to 100 during scenes with heavy action. I’ve heard others mention high CPU and low GPU usage, but I seem to be having the opposite issue.

Has anyone else experienced this or found a way to optimise performance?

Thanks!

Depends on your ingame settings. If you have uncapped fps, that could be an issue. I also use TAAU anti-aliasing for performance reasons. Frame generation could also be causing high gpu usage, or Lumen could as well.
Hard to say without knowing your ingame settings, but that GPU should run fine.

having high usage, especially with gpu is no issue. this is good. gpus are built to run at high percent. cpu at 100% can become an issue especially with not enough cooling bc then it will clock down to avoid overheating.
