I've got a pretty good PC and in many different games I'm getting below 200fps (hovering 120 most of the time) when I've got a 280hz monitor. I just wanna be able to get the FPS my monitor can output. I've got an i7-11700K, 3080 Ti, and 64 GB DDR4 2133 MHz RAM (it's 3200 but it's being underclocked by default, XMP profile doesn't work for some reason, assuming CPU limited).
I've tried on these games: League of Legends, Rocket League, Doom Eternal, Overwatch, RDR2, Valorant, Apex Legends, Aim Lab, CSGO, Cyberpunk, and No Man's Sky.
Only in Doom Eternal and RDR2 (Vulkan API) did my resources go to 100%, every other game maxes out below 50% usage and doesn't get the most FPS possible. It's not an obvious CPU bottleneck because none of my threads are maxing out alone.
I'd hate to hear that it's "just a game issue" considering some of these are considered competitive shooters and I'm getting below 200 fps which doesn't make sense since I got more FPS with a 2080 Ti and i7-8700k. The settings are as high as they can be on all games. I've tried them all at low. Still getting sub 50% usage on both GPU and CPU.
If any more info is needed, just lmk.
Edit: RAM model is: Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB (4x16GB) 3200MHz C16 DDR4 ; Mobo is AORUS MASTER Z590 .
Edit 2: I tried taking 2 sticks out so the XMP profile would work for 3200MHz (16GB x 2) and did some testing. Getting the same issue even at a higher speed.
