I have two monitors, one is a 1440p 165 HZ asus gsync monitor and the other is just a pretty standard 1080p. Also attached are my nvidia control panel 3d settings.

I tested this both with undervolting the 3080 and having it at normal settings and the CPU seems to be almost maxed out either way. Looking through the graph it seems like my FPS is directly inverse to my CPU usage. My framerate goes anywhere from 120-160 (only high when im in closed spaces or looking at a wall).Īttached is a picture of my MSI afterburner settings, as well as the undervolted 3080 frequency curve as well as a graph of my CPU usage, framerate, gpu temp, and gpu usage during a typical warzone session. I am currently using a 3080 and playing in 1440p with almost all settings on low except texture which is normal. When I am playing warzone my CPU usage is almost always from 95-100 percent which is think is bottlenecking my framerate. Nvidia driver and windows 10 are both up to date.

The only thing I upgraded was the GPU, I have this following ram which I bought on amazon on the way. Hey guys so my computer is a prebuilt Ibuypower BB973 with the following specs.
