Question My cpu and gpu are at around 40-60% when playing Overwatch. Is that normal?

[david37362]

I have an i7-6700k cpu and a 1080 ti with 32 gb of ram at 3200 MHz. During crazy moments my fps will drop to around 215 or 220 and I used to get more than that not long ago. Obviously, all my settings are low and I use the maximum performance power settings for both Windows 10 and in the Nvidia Control Panel. I also have fullscreen optimization disabled.

I feel like I should be able to maintain at least 240 fps with my setup. Am I wrong?

Try turning off vsync or an fps cap and see if that helps.

Total cpu usage is fairly meaningless, are any individual cores/threads hitting 100%?

I don't use V-Sync and the FPS cap is at 300, which is the highest it can be.

Nope. About half are hitting 60-70% but the rest are actually around 30%.
