[SOLVED] Why is my cpu usage always higher than my gpu's?

[chlottee]

I have an i5 8400 and 1660ti with 16gb ram, no ssd,but everytime i play a game, my cpu goes above 70% and my gpu usage is around 40-60%. This happens in games like csgo, league of legends, rainbow six siege, fortnite, overwatch, warframe, an even minecraft. Help pls!

those are games that are dependent on the CPU at the resolution you are playing at.
what resolution are you playing at?

I play on 1920x1080

as you increase resolution and refresh then the GPU comes into focus more and more.

So what can i do?

 

[norcalsc]

as long as you're not hitting 100% on your CPU usage you don't need to do anything. if you wanted more of the load on your GPU you would have to go to 1440p

if you want to push the GPU, increase resolution and/or refresh if monitor will let you.
system is running smooth, it has resources available and if performance is good there is nothing to do.

You can also raise the graphics settings in game.
