I've only found one problem with this game, and I can't seem to fix it. The game runs at about 70 to 90 FPS no matter what graphics settings are set to, and the GPU uses less than 7% of its power. Could this just be a bottleneck or am I missing something? My computer is an i5-9400F with an RTX 3060 TI, 16GB of RAM, and a 550W PSU.

Do other games work fine? Please share a picture from Battlefield 5 with the overlay or tell us what software you're using to check how much memory it takes.

It's very wrong. Put together some software called MSI Afterburner to see it over.

Afterburner shows way better numbers. Getting 90 fps on low looks weird for me with the right gear. Does that sound normal?

Yes, on a multiplayer game it makes sense because your CPU is getting too hot and slow. The FPS will drop, but that's normal. If you turn up the graphics settings, do the FPS stay steady while the GPU gets used up more?
