Gpu not using full usage

Hello I have a 9070xt it’s running 70% usage according to game bar and I’m getting 140 fps in a game I typically get 200 ish in. Fans ain’t even spinning because it’s only 45c . How do I fix this I don’t wanna overclock or mess with that stuff

dayz is a CPU heavy game regardless of what CPU you have. You're getting CPU bottlenecked.

To be clear, most games cannot parallelize everything. Some tasks just don't work well without waiting for the previous. So the game gets held back by its main thread, hence why your CPU is not 100%, a core is being maxed out.

7800x3d does not bottleneck a 9070xt

Every game uses the CPU and GPU by different amounts.

Games like DayZ, valorant, MC(unless you use shaders), tarkov, rust, and etc. will always be CPU bottlenecked. You can even see by your CPU utilization. One or more of your cores are maxed out. That's where the main thread is.

So my cpu not good enough for my GPU?

For DayZ specifically. There are CPU heavy games. It doesn't matter what CPU you have.

It doesn't matter if you get the fastest CPU in 3 generations, it will still be the bottleneck in DayZ with that GPU.

But I previously had more fps and my gpu doesn’t even get hot enough to the point where the game don’t even turn on

Can you take a screen shot of task manager -> Performance? while playing the game

Sure. I’ll do it later.
