Hi, I typically play Triple A games and rarely experience consistent 100% GPU usage. For instance, in Marvel's Spider-Man, in the city I usually see around 75-90% GPU usage, but it can drop to 60%. However, in indoor environments my GPU usage stays at 100%.
System details: CPU I7 4790K, GPU GTX 1070 TI, motherboard MSI GAMING 5 Z97, RAM GSKILL 8X2 1600 MHZ DDR 3, monitor HP 27xq 144mhz 1440p.

Your 8-year-old 4-core CPU is having trouble with the latest games.

My CPU doesn't hit 100% usage during Spider-Man, usually staying near 80%. Wouldn't it be expected to reach 100% if the GPU is the bottleneck?

Only having one core or thread close to 100% can restrict FPS. Overall CPU consumption doesn't really matter.

Based on my observations, the PlayStation versions tend to strain the CPU.

That game features a large, intricate outdoor environment, which demands significant rendering data from your older, slower 4-core CPU. Your GPU is likely eager to receive this information.

I've displayed all the cores on the screen and recorded a clip while playing Spider-Man. Please review if it assists in determining whether my CPU is causing a GPU bottleneck.

The game suggests using an Intel Core i5-4670 at 3.4 Ghz or an AMD Ryzen5 1600 at 3.2 Ghz. The CPU you have is superior to the recommended one.

Are you above 30fps?

I understand this well since I play the game myself. It's important to remember that user experience is the best indicator of how optimized a game is, because suggested specs might not reflect real-world performance. As shown in my profile, I have an i7-8700K and a GTX 1080 SC, yet I still experience some performance challenges.
