While gaming my GPU usage stays below 65% and CPU remains around 40-50%, the situation doesn't change regardless of the game. I've tried various adjustments like overclocking, underclocking, disabling game mode, changing power plans, updating drivers, and more. Still no improvement. I'm using stock GPU and an overclocked CPU. I've also checked benchmark scores in tools like CPU-Z and Furmark, but nothing has shifted. Please let me know if you can help. Thank you!

Have you checked your CPU and GPU performance by benchmarking and compared them to others using the same equipment?

I've attempted it, and my results remain comparable to others'.

Your processor is limited by its design. No matter how fast you increase your CPU speed, the improvements come from architectural updates between generations. Switching from Ryzen 5000 to 7000 isn’t enough—just move to 5600 or 3600 and update BIOS. Consider listening to other opinions before making a purchase; don’t just chase the cheapest option you see.

I'll wait for further replies but appreciate your advice. If others suggest it too, I'll consider purchasing the 5600.

You might find useful a video showing the display of these numbers during gameplay, including CPU and GPU power usage, RAM consumption, VRAM activity, frame rates, and a graph of frame times.

Check your claim—running RAM at 1600MHz isn’t standard for most systems, and it’s more likely tied to the Infinity Fabric architecture.

I'm currently playing at 1080p with the standard settings.

Indicates operation at 1600MHz; doubling gives 3200MHz. SPD panel shows 3200MHz (1600MHz).
