my system:
Alienware Aurora R6
i7-7700k overclocked to 4.7ghz at max boost
ASUS RTX 2070 SUPER OC dual fan
16gb 2400mhz RAM
800W power supply

for some reason, when I am playing games like cod warzone, rainbow six siege. My GPU usage is always at around 50-60%, and the game is always running at around 60-100 fps, which is not ideal when I have a 144hz monitor. My CPU is always running at 80-90%, but I am pretty sure my 7700k is not bottlenecking my GPU.

Here are the few things I tried:
-reinstalling windows 10
-dust cleaning
-overclocking my CPU
-picking prefer maximum performance option on all the software, ( Nvidia control panel, Windows power plan)
and none of them worked, and I am super frustrated because my rig should be able to handle these games at a much higher setting and fps.
