Good computer but not getting expected Fps and Gpu usage is low

[blobmello]

Just upgraded to a new graphics card and I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to get more fps than I'm getting currently. I am getting 80-100 Fps when playing LoL (doesnt matter which graphic settings I'm using) when I see other people getting 200+ fps (same card). When I play a much more gpu intesive game such as pubg I get around 70-80 fps on high settings which is good and expected for my gpu, here are my specs:
GPU: GTX 1060 6GB
CPU: Amd FX-8320
RAM: 16GB DDR3
I have tried the maximize performance and changing windows power options to high performance. I am not sure if its my psu (CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W) because I can get the card running fine when playing pubg. I have downloaded the recent drivers and I don't think my cpu is bottlenecking my gpu because my cpu doesnt not go over 60% usage. Vsync is off for these games. My gpu usage will not go over 35% when playing LoL so I think its not using its full potential when playing the game. Please help!

you are cpu limited

as shown by fps not changing regardless of settings


also you will never hit 100% usage on games that dont use all your cores
so that is meaningless

easy test: overclock the cpu, if fps increase then there ya go cpu is too weak

So how do I overclock cpu? Do I do something in BIOS settings?

 

[RobCrezz]

Yeah your CPU is likely the problem. The FX 8000 series arent very good. What motherboard do you have?

I have an Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0

Thats a good motherboard at least, do you know what CPU cooler you have?

If you have a good CPU cooler, then we can help you with overclocking.

Ok you may need something a bit better than that, but you can see how the temps go.

Go into the bios and set the multiplyer to 44 initally, with no other setting changes and run a load test like OCCT. Monitor the temps.

Will MSI kombustor work?

 

[RobCrezz]

No, Kombustor is just for GPU stress testing, not GPU.

No, Kombustor is just for GPU stress testing, not GPU.

Ok, I’m in bios settings, could you be more clear on what to change?

There will be a setting for the CPU multiplyer, you need to set it to 44.

 

[sophiewilson0191]

Sometimes the hardware is not the problem but the connection.
Try disconnecting every gadgets or turning off the wifi.

Is it also known as “CPU Ratio”? This is my BIOS layout :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45wVC0579ys

It is not my connection because I have an average of 20ms on my internet.

My current ratio is 20.0 and you want me to go to 44? It seems a little high.

Whats the FSB speed currently? As if thats at 100, then with a ratio of 20 you are only running at 2Ghz.

Its been a while since ive OCed the old FX cpus.

FSB is set at 200 mhz by default. My ratio was originally at 17.5 which was 3.5ghz (17.5x200) and then I set it to 20 (20x200) 4.0 ghz. Haven’t done a stress test and have not noticed any fps differences.

I just overclocked my cpu from 3.5 to 4.5 ghz and got around a 5 fps increase. This is not a cpu bottleneck because I am getting good fps in PUBG. My cpu usage wont go above 40% which is not even close to 100. Now my problem is I want my card to use more power on LoL when playing to get more fps. How can I do that?

Okay I figured out the oc. Went from 3.5 to 4.5 and only got around a 5 fps increase. This is not a cpu bottleneck since cpu wont even go over 60% usage. My only problem is league, my gpu is not using enough power so I'm only getting 80fps. Any idea how to make the gpu use more power when playing league?

 

[bystander]

Your GPU usage went up based on what you said earlier, and even the FPS went up. It might not have been enough to get the FPS you wanted, but you did prove that the CPU is likely the cause. OCing won't magically fix your bottleneck. It'll just give you a little more performance. If you want dramatic improvements, you simply need a better system.

edit: forum is acting up right now.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from blobmello : "How to Get gpu to use more power when playing League of Legends"

I am only getting 80fps when playing league of legends when I should be getting way more. Here are my specs:
GPU: GTX 1060 6GB
CPU: Amd FX-8320
RAM: 16GB DDR3
When I play a more intensive game such as PUBG, I get the fps I want because my gpu uses more power. When I play league my gpu usage doesn't go over 30% resulting in low fps. Is there anyway to make gpu to use more power when playing LoL? I have searched everywhere and tried pretty much everything. Please help!
1) It is not a cpu bottleneck because cpu usage wont go over 60% also overclocked it from 3.5ghz to 4.5ghz and only got a 5-8fps increase.
2) Have tried changing power settings in windows and Nvdia control panel
3)V-Sync is OFF
4) PSU is (CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W), I think 750W can supply my card
5) Yes, my video cable is connected to the video card
6)gpu and cpu temperatures are fine

1.
Your cpu is the bottleneck on most of todays proc heavy AAA games.
60% means that the game can only use certain number of cores, much less than your processor has.
You still can not get good fps because those cores are slow. Most games prefer faster cores than more cores.
OC is not always the answer. Processor still has it's limitation even after OC.
AMD FX platform is already outdated since years. AMD FX has fps issues for LoL.
2+3+4+5+6...there is nothing you can do against processor bottlenecking aside from replacing the processor.

But how could it have fps issues for LoL when LoL is meant to run on bad computers and is not hard to run?

You don't have a FPS issue with LoL. 80-100 FPS is good.
