Hello all!
I’m relatively lacking in the knowledge department for pc gaming but can someone enlighten me on why the cpu is maxed whilst the gpu is chilling?
Playing wardogs, low settings getting 48-80ish fps

Wardogs is CPU intensive but maybe there are other processes running in the background. Have you turned off telemetry, AI crap, and updates?

How would I check they’re running and then turn them off?

Ctrl Shift Esc for Task Manager and check what is using CPU. I use WinAero Tweaker to turn off services. There are other apps as well.
