Hello, you're just starting out with PC gaming and have a few questions about your system. Your friend mentioned lower usage in games, which is common since most games don't heavily tax the CPU. Your current usage of 60-80% seems high, especially with only Firefox and one game running. It's possible your RAM isn't using its full potential, even though it runs at 1063MHz. If your other specs are decent, the issue might be more related to the game's demands or background processes. Consider checking your RAM speed and stability if you suspect it's the cause.

DDR refers to double data rate, meaning your RAM operates at 2133 MHz. What processor and graphics card does your friend possess? Your CPU utilization remains typical at 1080p resolution.

Your friend probably possesses a significantly stronger processor or a considerably less responsive graphics card.
