Performance is poor, especially in games like PUGGER.
I'm playing professional esports in pubg and facing performance issues. I've looked into many things and tried the usual "DIY" approach. Following usage percentages never go above 60% on either GPU or CPU. Could this be a bottleneck? Or is my setup wrong? I bought this machine from someone who built it for me to use at home. Specs: i7-12700k (water cooled), MSI Pro Z690-A, RTX 3080, Gskill DDR432GB, 3600, Samsung 980 Pro.
You need to track CPU usage individually per thread, not just overall. I suspect at least a couple of threads are hitting 100% utilization.
What adjustments need to be made? The GPU staying under 60% indicates a 40% bottleneck. Low resolution settings can contribute, as can game engine restrictions (like DX11 limiting to 4 cores). A weak CPU or overheating can also play a role. It seems you're not optimizing your performance for professional gaming.
