My PC is not always using 100% power when I play games. Is this a sign that my computer is slow because of the game?

Hi, I usually play Triple A games and for most of them, I don't get a stable %100 GPU usage. For example, in Marvel's Spider-Man, in the city, I usually get a GPU usage around %75-90 and it sometimes drops to %60. However, in the same, in indoor areas, my GPU usage is always at %100. https://streamable.com/2h8mtj My system: CPU: I7 4790K GPU: GTX 1070 TI MOTHERBOARD: MSI GAMING 5 Z97 RAM: GSKILL 8X2 1600 MHZ DDR 3 RAM MONITOR: HP 27xq 144 mhz 1440p monitor

You have an 8-year-old computer that has only four cores, and it's having trouble playing modern video games.

I don't use all my CPU power when I play Spider-Man, mostly because it hits about 80%. Why would the CPU need to go up to 100% just because there is a problem with the graphics card?
