Is my gpu bottlenecked?
not accurate, the gpu can still face bottlenecks even with just 10% cpu usage. it really depends on how many threads the game demands. you might have a 200core xeon and still hit the gpu because its singlethread performance is insufficient. i own a ryzen 3600 and experience bottlenecks with a 5700 xt during streaming at slow encoding speeds, though my cpu usage stays around 50%.
I'm pointing out conditions that clearly indicate signs of bottlenecking. But considering the OP has a 4C/4T CPU, single-threaded bottlenecks with very low CPU usage are unlikely unless they're playing older games or something basic like a 2D game. You're gaming and encoding while only using half the CPU? That doesn't add up.
