Okay, now to the problem. It seems that some games I play are performing way below spec for my system. For example, GTA 5, at 1080p, high settings, runs at 60fps or LOWER. Usually hovering at around 55 fps.

My questions are;
1) How do I confirm if my system really is performing below spec, or if GTA is just an unoptimised game?

2) If it is performing below spec, how can I determine what is bottlenecking it?

3) What steps should I take to fix this issue? What should I try?

4) Please let me know if there is anything else that you need from me.

Edit 1: My motherboard is an Asrock x570 Phantom Gaming 4S.
Edit 2:

• PSU: GIGABYTE GP-P850GM 850W
• BIOS: Version 3.40 (This is the 2nd latest BIOS version. The new one released 5 days ago)
• GPU Temp during GTA 5 - ~50 Degrees Celsius
• CPU Temp during GTA 5 - ~70 Degrees Celsius
• RAM Speed: 3600Mhz

Edit 3: I upgraded from a 2080 super to an rtx 3080. I used DDU to uninstall my GPU drivers and reinstall the correct ones.
Edit 4: User benchmark results - https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/37012305
Edit 5: Even though my desktop resolution is 5760x1080, my gaming monitor is 1920x1080 at 144hz. I just have 3 monitors. Additionally, I don't run any external programs aside from discord, Spotify, and voicemeeter.

At 1080p, a 3080 won't be hitting anywhere close to 100%. Heavyest gpu hitting game I own only took my gtx970 to 60%, unless I enable 4k DSR and then it goes to 99%.

Usage is not how much of the gpu is Used, but how much it Uses to get the job done. If that gpu is capable of supplying 100% at a 4k resolution, guaranteed its not going to be anywhere close to that when it only has to process ¼ of the pixel amount for 1080p. It won't use all its vram, all its bandwidth, all its cores either Cuda or tensor or rastor. It does not need to.

Usage is not a measure of Ability. It's a measure of Capacity. A frame takes a certain amount of time to render. The simpler the frame, the faster it can be rendered, the more frames can be rendered in a second. Has nothing to do with the amount of resources the gpu needs to use to render that frame. Has everything to do with the Ability of the gpu to render that frame. A stronger, faster gpu can render a frame faster than a weaker, slower gpu, but either might only need to use 20% of available resources to do so.

Fair enough

It's already on that setting
