Hey there, I saw you just installed your new PC and are puzzled by the performance numbers. On games like GTA 5 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, your CPU usage stays around 30% while the GPU remains low at 7% to 10%. You’re seeing about 60 FPS in GTA and 80 FPS in Modern Warfare, which is solid. I’m not sure what’s causing the confusion. You mentioned you haven’t changed any BIOS settings, but your BIOS version shows "F50" for your Gigabyte B450M DS3H, which seems to be the latest. That might mean it’s already up to date. You’ve also downloaded the drivers and Ryzen chipset, and your GPU drops to near 0% during idle—does that make sense? I’m not sure if these stats are normal or if something’s off. Your specs look solid: GTX 1060, Ryzen 5 2600, 16GB RAM, 3000MHz motherboard, and a 550W Corsair power supply. Let me know what you think!

Normal low CPU usage on a 6-core, 12-thread processor while gaming is typical.

Is it typical for your GPU to behave this way?
