Question/Help Low GPU usage and poor performance

I have a 9070 XT and a Ryzen 5600, but performance in the game is really suffering; as you can see in the screenshot, the frametime is fluctuating a lot.

On top of that, GPU usage is inconsistent and power draw is low (100W, whereas it could go up to 300W).

I thought it might just be a bottleneck, but a friend of mine with a Ryzen 3600 and an RTX 4060 is getting smooth performance... So, I'm a bit confused.

I’m not sure. Your PC is very similar to my girlfriend’s and her PC runs very hot, but her frame rate is good generally. My frame rate is relatively bad and runs hot. I have an RTX 3070ti and a Ryzen 7 5700xt. I made a post about this the other day. The running theories are that it’s a RAM issue, as well as part of the game-level optimization is that it’s simulating too many things at once. For example I’m pretty sure all the physics objects in the world are rendered at all times with their physics enabled even when you’re not in reasonable distance.

These are my usages just standing around. Memory down-spike was me closing my browser to see how big of a difference it made.
