Windows 10: My CPU drops to 5% utilization while gaming

Hey guys ! I just installed a windows few hours ago. I installed all the drivers so I am up to date. I played a game Marvel Rivals. I had lags both visual and sound. I checked the temperature the highest was 82C... so I dont think it is thermal throttleing but im not so sure.So while playing the game about 5-10 mins worked just fine and then I had a lag spike for a few seconds sometimes 2 seconds sometimes 10. I observed that when I had the spikes the CPU utilization dropped to 5-7%. this happened at 62-67% and at higher degrees yet not high enough to say it is Thermal throttleing again.

Low CPU util on CPU-intensive games.

Hello! I came here to ask this question. Why is my CPU always on low utilization when I'm playing FH4 and any other high-graphics games? But whenever I'm using something like Blender or just playing lightweight games like Roblox, my CPU utilization is all the way at the max. It confuses me why my CPU is acting like this. I've already tried restarting my PC and increasing virtual memory. Here are my system specs :

CPU : Ryzen 5 3400G

iGPU : Vega 11

RAM : 32 GB

OS : Windows 11 Pro

 

Low CPU util on CPU-intensive games.

Hello, My name is Erfan. I will help you with this.

There could be several reasons why the CPU is in low utilization while playing games.

Games use more GPU than CPU because the GPU is designed to handle the graphics and rendering of the game, while the CPU runs things like physics and shadows. Games that require heavy graphics processing, such as Cyberpunk, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Control, are very GPU-heavy. Increasing the draw distance on a match will likely tax the CPU more than the GPU.

If your GPU is not powerful enough to keep up with the demands of the game, it can bottleneck the CPU, which will also lead to low CPU utilization.

Game resolutions, in the low resolutions you will experience high CPU utilization and in the high resolutions, low CPU utilization.

Let me know if that did not help. Thank you.
