Question CPU usage is under 10% and GPU usage at 100% while gaming ?

[Pointbreak]

CPU usage is under 10% and GPU usage at 100% while gaming but someone said it was good but it wasn't while playing games smoothly, like 40-50 fps suddenly dropped to under 15 fps. Thats where I noticed the above CPU and GPU usage.

my specs are:
I5-12400f
GTX 1660s
16gb Ram

What resolution and quality? You can lower either or both to allow your GPU to produce more FPS.

You may be more cpu limited than you think.
What are the games in question?

Your processor has 12 processing threads.
Utilization is the average over all threads
If your game were single threaded and compute limited, your utilization would be 100%/12 or 8.3%
Many games depend on the performance of a single master thread.

Another possibility is that you have some thermal throttling.
Run Hwmonitor and look at the temperatures of individual cores.
If you see 100c. in red it means that you throttled and recovered.
A loose cpu cooler can cause this.

1080p resolution graphics settings are medium

I will check what u mentioned earlier I just want add somethings how I fix this temporarily only after i replug GPU and reinstall GPU driver.but i don't know it's if its ok to do so

I already posted similar issue iam facing
Let me elaborate i had i5 3rd gen 1660s 12gb ram 550w PSU i was playing games balance satisfied fps rate.THEN SUDDENLY FPS DROPED like if i having 40 to 60fps it drop under 15fps .and it wasnt recovered so i searched letterly everywhere and everything pointing at bottleneck.so i thought maybe this is the issue then i upgraded my pc to i5 12400f GTX 1660s (didn't change GPU) 16gb Ram 650w PSU and i thought this will help but it isn't the same problem remains iam playing games at 1080p resolution checked temperature CPU and GPU under 65c only after repluging GPU or reinstalling GPU driver only help for 2 days max.usage before issue Cpu usage between 30 to 50% GPU 98-100%
After fps drop GPU 100% CPU under 10%

Plz plz someone help me

What are you using to measure the CPU/GPU usage percentage? Also is it just one particular game or is everything showing this behavior?

First randomly checked on task manager then msi afterburner and some other dude pointed me to check hwmonitor every software showing similar (depend the time ) and about the game it affects every game
