Question Should GPU utilization in games always be more then 90% ?

[Od86x]

Hello everyone.

I had a 10700k, paired with an RTX 4070 Ti 12GB. I used to play RDR2 at 1440p. Settings were in Ultra, but my GPU utilization has never been more then 70% .

Now I've bought a Ryzen 9 9950X and same settings, my GPU still never goes above 81% utilization, and
VRAM usage is around 58%.

Is it normal ? Isn't GPU supposed to Utilize like 90-95%?
I don't think my 9950X is holding back the GPU.
It's a workers CPU for productivity, but it still way more powerful in gaming than my old 10700k.

Am I missing something?

Yes, Clean install . Formated drive and so on, fresh AMD chipset driver as well.

Just curious, what are your framerates?

Does anybody know why when my game is running, my cores in CCD0 and CCD1 are running?
Is is OK for 9950x?
I took screenshot, take a look please who can understand. And does 9950x need core parking? its non X3D.
Game Bar On, Power mode is - Balanced.

BTW I tested my 9950x in Cinebench 2024 rendering . I got 2165 score in multi core. While other PC bloggers got 2305 score. But i don't think that will has effect in games.

btw idk if that affected, my RAM memory set to 5400Mhz, I underclocked .

Where, in RDR 2 ?
Ultra settings, MSAA OFF, DLSS OFF. Vsync ON, 1440P, 165Hz - Average 120 FPS, Min- 89 FPS

Small update.
With 5400Mhz ram - 120FPS average, Min- 89FPS.

Turned up Ram speed in bios to 5600MHz
Got - Avergae 123FPS , and surprisingly Min - 115FPS.
I guess it affects minimum FPS more.

I haven't tried put on Expo 1 yet. I just want stability more .

What makes you think you won't be stable with EXPO?

Ehh I read on forums and reddit .

Somebody said that 5600mhz It's official supported by Asus . That's means that they tested at this speed and guaranteed stability at that speed. For some reason they didn't stated 6000Mhz.

And I just afraid .

Go ahead and enable it and see what happens.

Not much change.
Anyway I folow by Hardware Unboxing optimizing settings for RDR2 and I got 175FPS. That's huge.
Thank you anyway , for all your time guys.
I just going to live with 9950x for at least 5 years .
Sincerely
