Question Low FPS - Low GPU Usage

[1KVoices]

I've been having this issue for some months now and haven't been able to find a solution.

Specs:
Mobo: B550M
CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X
GPU: RTX 4060
RAM: 32GB 3200MHz
PSU: 650W

I previously had different specs and I started to update my pc by parts, but to the point where the only things that are still old are my 2 SSDs, everything else is brand new.

Basically my GPU usage practically never reaches 98% even when on Ultra settings, it varies a lot and I've realized that it's something that depends on how many players/npcs are on my screen because if I look to the sky instead to where the players/npcs are my GPU usage bumps up and I get a ton of fps.
On games like FH5, SH2 Remake and GOT the GPU usage runs perfectly at 98% being stable. On the other hand, on games like FN, WZN/BO6, WRFRAME, MC where there are many players/enemies on a lobby, my GPU usage will go from 50% to 78% max. Also, on CP2077 while I'm on Night City my usage is low (70%ish) and when I leave to the Desert, my GPU bumps up to 98%.

This is very annoying because I get way less FPS on these games (120fps FN Perf.Mode - Drops from 90fps in WRFRAME when there are to many enemies - WZN stutters a lot so I have to play on minimum settings because the usage moves a lot from 80 to 50 and so on giving me stutters - I even lag on RBLX cause my GPU usage is like 50%).

I have already done a clean Windows Installation, XMP enabled, tried different drivers (Nvidia's, BIOS, Chipset) and a bunch of other things as well.

If you have read all of this, thank you very much and I'm glad to hear any advices or opinions.

but since you play in ultra setting, that's all you need! do you mean that you didn't get the actual ultra sitting after you set it? sometimes the game itself doesn't need a load since the graphics is usually low, or depend on other things, good drawing can make the game ultra while it didn't use alot of graphics, one of your games WRFRAME it's official hardware requirements is core 2 due which is around 15 years, sure it dosen't have to increase your gpu usage,..
