Hi,
I just installed Metro Exodus Gold edition on my HP Omen laptop with an RTX 3060 GPU and a Ryzen 7 CPU. I observed that the FPS cap is set at 72 fps via Nvidia control panel, yet the GPU usage is only around 80%. The in-game FPS stays below that cap, averaging 63-65 FPS, but the GPU isn’t reaching its full potential. This issue appears only in Metro Exodus and not in other games. Shouldn’t the GPU be operating at 100% until the FPS limit is hit? Why is it only delivering 80% of its capacity? The VRAM usage is low, about 5 GB. Could you advise me on the next steps? Note: RTX and DLSS are enabled, graphics is set to "Extreme." Even if I disable those features, the GPU usage remains capped at 80%. All graphic drivers are up to date.

what is the cpu consumption? how much ram and ssd are being used? can't just check one component. all parts need to function together.

Hi. CPU activity is at 20% on average, RAM usage is near 82% during gameplay. SSD utilization isn't clear—should I check it? Is tracking SSD usage important?
