Can the CPU restrict GPU overclocking?
I attempted to run Witcher 3 with the overclocked GPU.
GPU utilization stayed around 70%-90%.
CPU usage occasionally hit 100%, while other times it fell into the 80s and 90s.
It seems the impact depends on the game's specific areas.
If the GPU never reaches 100%, an overclock won't really help much.
Your CPU is likely limiting the GPU performance.
It's probably a good idea to verify your GPU and CPU utilization during gameplay. Utilize tools such as MSI Afterburner. You'll likely notice the CPU reaches maximum usage while the GPU remains unaffected.

If this is the case, you'll notice the CPU usage hits 100% while the GPU remains unaffected. I attempted to play Witcher 3 with an overclocked GPU. The GPU consumption stayed around 70%-90%, and the CPU occasionally reached 100% but often settled between 80% and 90%. It seems performance varies depending on the game's specific sections.
