What is bottlenecking my system?? (screenshot)
Posting a screenshot below of GTAV (single player) with RTSS, I'm not sure what is bottlenecking my GPU, as my CPU is at 50-60%, I understand 120fps is nothing to complain about regardless, however it does it too on some other games, and im not sure what the issue is. Also I have no V-sync or anything else on, other than G-sync.
ALSO no fps limiter either.
Current setup:
MSI Z87M Gaming
I7 4790k @4.7ghz
Zotac AMP RTX 2060
16GB 2400mhz DDR3
Seasonic 620 S12 ii Bronze

Yeah that sounds more normal then, the 4790k still has a pretty monstrous single core speed, plenty of people run worse processors with new cards too, your RAM is freaking fast for that aswell. I'm guessing older games like Skyrim aren't that demanding anymore unless you install hundreds of mods, I think you should just crank all the graphics settings in GTA V and whatever else until your FPS drops noticeably, then your getting max benefit from your GPU
It sounds like your PC is well balanced, maybe some RGB will improve FPS
😀
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, focusing on clarity and removing redundancy:
"I'm experiencing frame rate drops during gameplay, primarily at 144Hz. I’ve been testing different graphics settings to see if they help. Currently, my GPU is running at around 30-40% usage and my CPU at 50-70%, with the FPS dropping from 144 to 100 in certain areas. I believe this may be related to a graphical setting issue rather than the hardware itself.
I’ve been testing on a 7200rpm drive, but it's not impacting my results as much as I thought because of the RAM. If possible, I should be reinstalling GTA or other large games onto an SSD. However, I am limited by the amount of space that I have available on my current SSD.
I’m wondering if the 7200rpm drive is a limiting factor in this situation? Would you recommend testing with an SSD to see if it makes a difference?"
When operating correctly, your graphics card typically reaches 100%, doesn’t it? If not, it likely indicates an issue with your processor, unfortunately. Or perhaps there’s a limiting factor that prevents it from exceeding 120? I'm uncertain of the exact cause, but upgrading to a larger SSD is definitely recommended given how affordable they are now. Personally, I would disable frame tracking and appreciate the 120 frames per second you’re experiencing.
My graphics card typically operates at 96-99% utilization in numerous titles. Certain games, such as Skyrim, sometimes only require 50% of my GPU and 12% of my CPU, even after manipulating the physics settings to achieve a frame rate above 60Hz. Grand Theft Auto is particularly unusual, exhibiting an unbounded frame count—a truly peculiar behavior.
That certainly seems more reasonable; the 4790K maintains a remarkably high single-core performance, and many individuals use less powerful processors alongside newer graphics cards. Your RAM is impressively quick for your system as well. I anticipate that older games like Skyrim aren’t particularly challenging unless you add numerous modifications, but you should simply increase all the graphical settings in Grand Theft Auto V and other titles until your frames per second decrease noticeably – this will allow you to fully utilize your graphics card. It appears your computer is properly configured, perhaps incorporating some RGB lighting could boost performance. 😀
