Hey there! I've noticed many games consuming 10-30% CPU and 40-60% GPU power lately. At first, I thought it might be a card limitation, so I kept going. Recently, I switched to a 4080 and still face the same issues—hard to hit even 80 FPS. All the benchmark numbers others share look better and more stable. If anyone has any tips or solutions, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks for checking my specs: RTX 4080 i7 12700K, 32GB Corsair Vengeance RAM, DDR4, 850W PSU, 1TB SSD.

Temperatures seem to be a concern. The RAM is 2x16GB with a minimum of 3200MHZ.

It seems temperatures stay within safe limits, with the CPU under 50°C and GPU below 60°C most of the time. The RAM specs on the box list 3200MHZ, but Task Manager shows 2100MHZ.

Consider the clock speed. It's necessary to activate XMP for the RAM.

I'm sorry, but I'm not very familiar with this topic. I'll look into XMP and get back to you! Thank you.

It's set in the BIOS settings, not within Windows. If enabling it causes your PC to fail to start, you should reset the motherboard back to its factory defaults—either by disconnecting the power supply and removing the battery, or by using the ClrCMOS pin as indicated in your motherboard manual.

My memory speed is now at 3200MHZ. Appreciate that. However, I encountered the issue with a few games despite low CPU and GPU usage.

Everything seems normal. I recommend clearing your driver using DDU and reinstalling it. https://www.wagnardsoft.com/display-driv...taller-ddu Also, reset your Windows Power Plan and choose Balanced or High Performance.
