cpu: i5-10400f
gpu: rtx 2070
memory: 16gb 2133mhz
mb: gigabyte h410m s2h
psu: Cooler Master MWE Bronze 650W

So i don't have this problem in other games but in warzone my gpu is on 80-96% usage which i dont undersand because my cpu is only at 50-55%. So why my gpu usage is sometimes at 80%, when my cpu don't bottlenecks it? Why my cpu usage dont want to go any higher? is it because of my ram?(every component is new except my ram). My components are not overheating. If you want something else to know please let me know. Thanks for the answers.

Your CPU usage is threaded. So while you may only be using 55% of your multithread capability, you are probably using 100% of your singlethread, which is bottlenecking the GPU.

Hi!
But i saw somebody in youtube with the same setup who had more cpu utilization(therefore didn't have any bottleneck). thats what i dont understand. but i will check cpu1,2,3,4..... in afterburner if thats the case. thanks.

The problem with COD:Warzone is that it's very badly optimized it does not utilize cpu correctly and it also eats more ram then google chrome tabs.

Make sure that your draivers are updated, close all unnecessary software in the backround while playing cod you can also try scan and repair the game, there are many people out there with decent gaming pcs but just Warzone runs badly and that says everything.

Same monitor resolution and refresh rate?

its not the same monitor, just the same resolution.

Are your ingame video setting set correctly resolution and refresh rate for an example if you have an 1080p monitor 60hz your ingame settings should be 1920×1080 with 60hz refresh rate

Why are we talking about bottlenecks?
Isn't it normal in games to use mainly GPU and some CPU?
Some titles might be more CPU heavy but still.
When its opposite, that's when bottleneck happens.

games that mainly use gpu supposed to utilize 95-100%.

So long as You CPU is not at 99%, You are fine. No bottleneck.
Hows Your FPS? You get any freezes or something?

no freezes, fps good. just conserns me the fact that the cpu is not nearly at 100 and therefore the gpu should be at 95-100%. Thats why i think its some kind of bottleneck. maybe my ram not fast enough.

no no, each system is different. software will behave differently, if your game works fine, why bother?
don't fix that which aint broken ;)
