Maximum CPU consumption and minimal GPU activity
Maximum CPU consumption and minimal GPU activity
I have a CPU with Ryzen 7 7700 and a GPU with RTX 3060. When playing games such as Valorant or other demanding software, the CPU usage is minimal while the GPU consumes most of the processing power. On my 244Hz monitor, I experience only 400-500 FPS and notice significant packet loss during gameplay.

Ensure that the AMD graphics aren't included in your CPU's design. What driver version are you using? Also, 16GB might be insufficient for a modern gaming setup—review your RAM consumption.
