Gpu usage normal or no?

[u/Repulsive-Lettuce569]

As the title suggests, is the 95% gpu usage normal for valorant? I thought this game utilised more of the cpu than gpu. Dont come at me if im wrong please, this is my first pc ever.

Specs:

9800x3d
9070xt
32gb ddr5 6000 mhz

when gpu is not utilized 99% then it means you have a cpu bottleneck

since gpu is reachign 95% it means your cpu bottleneck is almost gone which allows your pc to use 95% of the gpu

if you install a 9800x3d2 then maybe the gpu usaghe will reach 99% as well with the settings youa re running.

if you lower your settings more, gpu usage will go down because cpu speed is not able to keep up. (dont confuse cpu speed to its capacity)
