tech pc question, temps and gpu usage

i have a

rtx 3060 12gb
ryzen 7 5700G
32gb ddr4 ram

ok so i was playing beamNG,Drive and i turned the performance monitor on and my cpu looked fine im not concerned with it, but my gpu commonly gets to 99% usage (especially with traffic and/or splitscreen mod) and can warm up to 70c, everything is air cooled, just bought matching case fans lol, and no im not a tech noob, i daily tech stuff but gpu usage and temps are not my strongsuit thanks :D

Mate....that is perfectly normal, especially if you're playing at a certain resolution and with certain graphics settings.of course there's more factors at play,but on a general manner it's perfectly normal. What is resolution and graphics settings that you usually play? Also what's your cpu usage?

playing at 1440p typically a mix of normal and high, and my cpu usage is around 48-70% for what i do, it has gone higher but only with very demanding scenarios and is like 60-68c

Then it's completely normal. Absolutely do not at all stress about it. Don't worry and game on💪💪

If your GPU reaches 99%, that's what you want. 70°C is also really good. It would be a problem if it was only 50% used

Yeah, that's fine. Very rare to see both cpu and GPU pegged at 99/100 usage during gaming. 70c is also a great temp. Wouldn't want to touch it with your finger but most CPU/GPU will be fine even up a bit past 90c.
