So when I play apex legends, in the main menu, and charcter select and champion screens, I get ~300fps with 99% GPU usage but as soon as I get in game my gpu usage drops to around 60% with my cpu usage at around 40% and my FPS averages around 120, but given i have a 144hz monitor I want to be consistently hitting 144fps or more hopefully. I dont have any sort of vsync or frame cap on

Specs:
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT

MOBO: ASRock B450M Steel Legend

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600

RAM: 2x 8GB Corsair Vengeance

PSU: SilverStone Strider 850W Platinum

And if you look at this video for example i should be getting at least 200fps:

low gpu usage means that cpu cant provide enough data for gpu
run some cpu and ram benchmarks
userbenchmark should do
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
UserBenchmarks: Game 77%, Desk 80%, Work 74%
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 - 72.4%
GPU: AMD RX 5700-XT - 104.7%
SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 500GB - 116.1%
SSD: Adata SU650 480GB - 73.1%
HDD: Seagate ST3320820AS 320GB - 34.1%
HDD: Seagate ST3320820AS 320GB - 27.5%
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 C16 2x8GB - 61.4%
MBD: Asrock B450M Steel Legend
these are my results, but i dont imagine it would be that as in other games i can get up to 99% GPU usage
