    Question Helldivers 2—Low GPU usage (40%-60%) and high CPU usage (80%+)

    In Helldivers 2 I get extremely low GPU usage and very high CPU usage. I know this is partly because of the game's low utilization of my cores But I'm wondering if there's any software fixes / overclocking / undervolting type things I can do to improve GPU usage and performance. [Mod edit...

    Budget Hardware and Software Upgrade Recs?

    Thanks for the advice Part of it I realized is also games that I can't change, like new games only using 1 cpu core (annoying!). I will try undervolting because I think CPU heat throttling is a big issue on these unoptimized games

    Budget Hardware and Software Upgrade Recs?

    I am looking to upgrade my computer, linked here, as much as possible for below $100. My motherboard linked here shows what upgrades it can take. Because of budget, all I can think of now is reapplying thermal paste (used this computer for years) and buying this new 3733mhz 16GB RAM to replace...

    Games start at crisp steady 75 fps, then lower to a consistent stuttery 40fps.

    "HyperX® 16 GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM (2 x 8 GB)" Does CPU overhead mean it is using too much of my CPU and not enough of my GPU? Edit: my GPU usage during good fps is like 70% and during the bad fps its like 55%, not a huge difference but maybe that makes a big difference?

    Unless I messed up I linked both the exact prebuild I have and I linked a benchmark test that also shows all of my specs and other facts about their performance

    It's on the default screen of MSI afterburner, I believe my GPU

    I bought this prebuilt maybe 4 years ago. I don't understand all of the terminology, but here is a recent benchmark I did. I was surprised how its holding up to its age (14% above average for similar specs) My GPU is performing super low at 12% percentile and my SSD drive also low at 25%...
