Verify CPU performance issues
Hello everyone, I'm using an AMD FX8320 (4.4GHZ OC'd) CPU paired with a Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Toxic Edition (2GB DDR5). While playing a game, the CPU runs at about 20-30%, but the GPU hits its peak of 99% at 1220MHZ Core clock and 1550MHZ memory clock. Is this causing a bottleneck? RAM is Corsair Vengeance cmz8gx3m1a1600c10. Would adding another 8GB RAM help? If yes, are there other options besides swapping the hardware?
It's typical to notice the CPU running at a lower percentage while the GPU stays near 100%, especially in games that rely heavily on graphics. However, some titles can be CPU-intensive too, such as Beamng.drive, CSGO, and certain esports games.
