CPU at 100%, GPU at 0%

Hello everyone,

I've noticed that my CPU is almost constantly at 100% in a game like Warzone or Battlefield 5, while my graphics card shows an utilization of 1% or 2% (VRAM used and temperature around 60°C). The card is indeed being used as I'm running these games at over 100 fps in high resolution. I feel like I'm being limited by my CPU in these games.



Meanwhile, in Rocket League, with fps capped at 144Hz, my CPU is at 30% and my GPU at 50%. In this case, the 3D section of the GPU in the task manager is being utilized.



Thank you for shedding some light on this. I don't know if there's a solution, but I would at least like to understand why the GPU utilization is almost zero.

For example, is it normal that when playing a 4K 60Hz video on YouTube, it's my CPU that works rather than my GPU?
