What game is it? Also it’s entirely possible it’s a single threaded application, or is very limited with how many CPU cores it can use, and is using 100% of 1 or 2 cores.

What’s your CPU?
resetallthethings
overwatch won’t play beyond refresh rate of the monitor unless it’s in fullscreen rather then windowed/borderless windowed
other games might be similar I’m sure

The game is probably not optimized, that’s it. Look at teach core/thread of your CPU and see how many of them are used to the brim and which ones are barely touched. If you see this – it’s 99% of the times that the game just doesn’t use all of your your cores/threads and you can do nothing about it.

My advice: stop looking at your task manager. You have a 4.11Ghz CPU, an RTX 3060, 24 Gigs of ram and SSD’s.
You should be able to run all your games just fine and like others said; could be bad optimization, not using all cores etc.

you’re single thread limited on the cpu. the cpu isn’t showing as maxed out because the game wasn’t designed to use all those cores.

It’s not all about your hardware, you can also be limited by the games engine.

Task Manager isn’t that good at reporting GPU usage, and since you said it was on Minecraft, that’s sort of normal behavior for that game

vsync is on i guess

not having high cpu and gpu usage isn’t always an issue keep that in mind

unoptimized app.
check a program that tells you per-core usage of the CPU and you’ll likely see one core being used more than the others at any one point (it will swap around between cores though)
often times, apps need one main core and the other cores are only barely used. It’s pretty common. Nothing you can do about it…besides buying a processor with one big core and smaller, less performant cores that doesn’t yet exist in the mainstream market

24GB is a strange amount of RAM. Do you have an odd number of sticks in your pc?

If you are single thread limited, see if you can get down to 4 cores and overclock them (Use windows msconfig or Process Lasso or something). (Ideally move to a 12100F, it is a beast for 1-6 threaded apps, but if you like switching to 5600 or one of the X3D chips is an upgrade too).

Use a mod called NVIDIUM, works with NVIDIA cards.

If u don’t have a significant bottleneck it could just be a poorly optimised game or one that was optimised for older machines. Some source engine games will max out at like 300-500fps with about 20% CPU usage and 30% GPU on an even halfway decent modern build.

Ok ignore the others i have the true solution It’s easy.
Just quickly recode Minecraft from the ground up and make sure to correctly use multi threading to its max
Then just run your program and enjoy the full extend of your PC’s power.

Ah yes the classic overall cpu usage
UnsettllingDwarf
Bro same. My gpu sometimes just goes down in usage for no reason. No cpu bottleneck.

I have the same problem with Tarkov. Nothing is maxed out, not even single cores. Couldn’t figure it out.

Try to use sodium and use that with the shaders thing thats not optifine. That’s what I used to do

Make sure vsync is off
