GTXMan A 5900X is not causing a bottleneck.
SEVERYN4YKI wouldn’t pay attention to low gpu usage wouldn’t if the performance I have was adequate. For example, in Snowrunner, due to ~50% usage on Ultra settings, I have 40-50 fps. I don’t get anything if I reduce my settings. For instance, in Cyberpunk, the FPS stays around 70. Normally, you would decrease quality to obtain three digit frame rate. Instead, after lowering graphics quality, I only see a decrease in usage, same 70 FPS and image that looks like crap. :D

GTXManI'm just curious: who is directing this stringent of action against curse words which are literally self-censored? The "s word" is now frequent on cable television and you guys are censoring it on the internet? Seriously?

The "s word" is now frequent on cable television and you guys are censoring it on the internet? Seriously?The forum terms of service that you agree to is what is guiding the stringent action, as well as EVGA since they set the terms of service. I don’t care what word is common on television. Yes, seriously, abide by the rules or you will get banned for breaking them. It’s simple enough to follow the rules.
B0baganooshSomething is definitely limiting you in games and it isn't the card. It seems like you have a frame-cap somewhere (Nvidia control panel or Precision X1 maybe?). Is Vsync turned on in those games or in NV-control panel? What is your monitor model #? Normally, I'd ask to see a screenshot of your BIOS settings page for the PCI-e slots, but if you got that timespy score, that is probably set correctly. Same method of debunking memory settings, over-temp, etc. It seems like there must be a frame-limit. I'm going to have to think on this one, as you don't seem to have a global setting impacting things.
Placekicker19What ram speed and timing are you running?? Faster ram will alleviate a cpu bottle neck at lower resolutions. You should be running atleast 3200 cl14, if not your losing performance. I see large performance losses running 3200 cl16 vs my daily speed of 4700 cl17 that i run 24/7. Fast ram can gain 50fps in some titles at 1080p. At 4k ram matters less since the cpu is no longer bottlenecked but it still helps in certain titles.

They're getting bad power % readings while his actual card's numbers are well above average.
kevinc313This here. Should be able to run 3600CL16 on any decent ram which is about the minimum a performance Ryzen setup should run. Higher the better. But his TS test shows 3600 ram and a 4.7ghz core so I think he's doing OK. If he's CPU bound, it's imho not due the hardware, but how the hardware is being used. OP, you're not running W10E 1809 LTSC by any chance? I'd try testing a few modern games at 1080p or even 720p, to see what the FPS is when CPU bound.
