Your GPU usage near 60-70% while CPU is at 50% suggests the CPU might be the limiting factor, not the GPU. This imbalance can indicate a bottleneck where the CPU struggles to keep up with the workload.

the term "bottleneck" refers to which part is limiting performance significantly, especially when the CPU isn't running at full capacity. It relies on how each core is utilized. For example, with a Ryzen 5 1600 and four cores at 100%, that's what’s slowing things down. Of course, if you’re achieving the performance you expect, a bottleneck shouldn’t be an issue for your PC.

It seems different in games. Maybe your PC is strong enough so the GPU and CPU don’t have to work at full speed for the game you’re playing

Top fair games for GTA V and COW include balanced multiplayer modes, competitive matches, and ranked play options.

Unlikely. When one is near 90% and the other is far away, I’d treat it as a constraint issue

I observed the MSI chart, but not every one is hitting 100% load.

They change somewhat, but it's never completely certain.

It seems the game isn't making use of system resources efficiently. Are you achieving a high frame rate? Are you pushing your monitor to its limits?

While gaming, my GPU consistently runs at over 90% while the CPU stays low (10%-40%). This shows the GPU is limiting performance, but I’m satisfied with the results and can’t upgrade soon.

In Cod Warzone I’m running most of the high difficulty mode, with shadows turned on and ray tracing activated. The performance stays steady at around 83 FPS without any stutters, and the game runs smoothly at 1080p with a frame rate of 75 Hz.
