In MSI Afterburner, during gameplay the CPU reports only 5-10% usage, which seems odd. I checked a benchmark video with identical hardware and found the actual usage was around 50-60%. This discrepancy is confusing and misleading. Anyone know how to get the CPU to show accurate stats? Also, the Nvidia overlay has the same problem. My specs are: H510 case, GTX 1660 SUPER MSI, Ryzen 5 5600X, 16GB RAM at 3200MHz, B450 Aorus Pro Wi-Fi.

As long as the GPU usage is at 90%~100% and the performance is fine then there is no reason to worry about it.

It achieves 90-100 percent efficiency, though it falls to 80-90 when using the stock cooler.
