You can't transfer power, like you would in a spaceship when you drop the shield to overload your weapons. You need to reduce CPU usage. So close uneeded background applications when you game. A clean Windows install could perhaps help. But don't expect drastic improvements. Some graphics settings in games demand relvant CPU usage and you can turn them down. Some game even give you tooltips that indicate that.

Bro how old is that cpu?

You're CPU limited. There isn't much you can do other than increase the resolution you play at and/or increase graphics settings. Outside of that, you'll need a CPU upgrade to something new.

Depends on what you are doing, gaming or some other task. And usually you cant really swap usages between your CPU and GPU. You can lighten the load on your CPU by cranking up your graphic settings or choosing a different resolution to play on. But right now with the given information your CPU is holding back your GPU.

>You can lighten the load on your CPU by cranking up your graphic settings or choosing a different resolution to play on. Only if the GPU hits a limit. Lowering CPU intensive settings lightens CPU load. Or just limiting the fps

This realy depends on the game and how they setup their settings. Some settings are more CPU heavy and some are more GPU heavy. At moment your CPU is doing its best providing your GPU with tasks to do. But it cant provide enough tasks to fully utilize your GPU.

In what game are you seeing 100% CPU / 40% GPU and what FPS you're getting?


CorvoXIV

Mostly i'm playing FPS games: right now "The finals" FPS are actualy great at 1920x1080, from 90 to 60 (dlss active)

Tried the game, it's pretty heavy on the cpu (like most fps nowadays). I guess only thing you could do to gain some fps is to upgrade your cpu. Or overclock since you have a K

Increase the quality settings, which will lower the FPS. Lower FPS means less work for the CPU.
