    Question (i5-12400 & RTX 4070) Low CPU and GPU usage.

    I take back what I previously said lol. The reason for this issue is a CPU bottleneck for the 4070. All the benchmarks I watched that were utilizing the GPU properly were all 1440P, and I play at 1080P. I have to either get a CPU upgrade or a monitor upgrade.

    Question (i5-12400 & RTX 4070) Low CPU and GPU usage.

    I kind of resolved this issue, and the solution for me was either one of these: Using DDU again to wipe the drivers and then rolling back to a slightly older version of the drivers. Completely getting rid of my motherboard's (gigabyte) software using Revo Uninstaller with a moderate scan to get...

The only thing I did was use DDU before switching cards. And I'm on Windows 11 (22H2). 2. I updated the...

    Question (i5-12400 & RTX 4070) Low CPU and GPU usage.

    Essentially, I upgraded my GPU from an RX 580 (AMD) to an NVIDIA RTX 4070, used DDU, and cleaned every single possible thing, but for some reason, in most games, specifically Overwatch 2, my CPU usage hovers around 30–40% and my GPU usage is 20–40% on high settings. I'm playing the games in...

    [SOLVED] Please help me with finding out a motherboard replacement!!

    I agree with you 100%, I've been looking into an i3 12100F, as @KyaraM suggested, alongside a Gigabyte B660M DS3H and it's simply amazing for it's price. I do think it's better going for these new parts as they're in stock in my country, which is honestly something you can't find easily in Sri...
