Hello, your Intel i7 9700K is showing high CPU usage in Cyberpunk 2077 with the RTX 3080, even at 30 FPS. The BIOS lists a max clock speed of 3600 MHz. This setting might be limiting performance—consider adjusting it if possible. Since you're new to overclocking, start by checking your motherboard manual or seeking beginner-friendly guides for safe BIOS tweaks. Your ASUS Z390 Pro motherboard could also provide useful insights.

Disable IEST or any other power-saving setting in the BIOS.

Regarding in-game performance, check clock speeds and core count. Take a screenshot using CPU-Z while the game is running.

I possess one DDR4 Hyperx 2666 HZ stick, a Noctua NH-U9S, and during the stress test with CPUZ, NZXT CAM displays this result.

Single channel memory can cause your cpu to peg at 100%. Your GPU is low utilization because it's waiting on the CPU. Pretty sure that's your problem. Cpu clock speed seems fine.

I thought it would be a problem when I chose just one stick, but I think I’ll wait to order the second one sooner than planned. Thanks!
