Question Low FPS but low hardware usage

[sonyloopz]

Ive recently come to notice that my CPU and GPU are only using 50-60% when playing games.

My Specs are:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H @ 2.6GHz
Nvidia RTX 3060 Laptop GPU

Another thing that ive noticed is that when playing a game like Cyperunk on Ultra graphics I get next to no FPS drops (with dlss set to Quality), yet when playing Schedule 1 I constant drops and only sit around in the range of 40-50 FPS

Well you hardly ever get a game that can max out cpu and gpu both on normal playable settings.

If the cpu and GPU temps are okay then you could try to max out the cpu by running a game on the lowest settings and resolution available (although many games still won’t use all cores, but cyberpunk is pretty good in this regard). You can max out the gpu by turning all graphics setting up to the max.

If you can max both out it’s probably not your psu holding them back and just the way a specific game is programmed that lets it use a specific amount of cpu and GPU resources.
