Hi there, I see you're experiencing some performance issues with your gaming setup. Your system specs look solid, but the GPU utilization seems inconsistent—sometimes it stays low, other times it spikes high. You mentioned upgrading your power supply from 500W to 850W, yet the problem continues. It might be worth checking BIOS settings or power delivery limits. Also, running FurMark showed extreme usage (99%) under stress, which could indicate thermal throttling or driver issues. Please review those screenshots and let me know what you find. I'm here to help troubleshoot further!

some games require high GPU or CPU power...furmark.gpu stress tests will focus on GPU with minimal CPU involvement. You'll notice around 99% utilization, which means there might be room for adjustments or improved drivers, but it seems like your setup isn't a major problem.

The issue lies in your device's specifications matching the ones in the YouTube reviews. GPU utilization remains at 99% across the same games.

Check if it's one 16GB RAM module. Increasing quality or resolution usually lowers FPS unless the hardware can handle it.

You have limited memory and a decent processor speed. Your display supports up to 1920x1080 resolution without issues. While you can run games at higher settings smoothly, performance drops during intense close combat with many opponents. The issue seems to be that your graphics card isn’t utilizing its full capacity.

Increase all parameters to their maximum values and observe if GPU utilization rises. It appears your system is constrained by CPU limits. You may be limited to just one channel of RAM at 2400MHz, which could be contributing to the issue.
