Today I stumbled across this site, which allows you to see whether your CPU and GPU are well paired, for various tasks.
E.g., here’s my current set up, for “graphics intensive tasks”:
And the site tells me this for that combination:
While the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is well-equipped to manage strenuous computational tasks, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 limited graphical prowess may compromise the overall system efficiency. This disparity could lead to decreased performance and less effective utilization of system resources. To rectify this imbalance, an upgrade to a more capable graphics card that complements the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processing abilities is advisable.
Neat!

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

I have a 5800X processor and 6700XT GPU which the site claims is barely ok. In reality my CPU is hardly ever doing anything when gaming while the GPU is at 100% usage all the time.
For a higher GPU, like the 7900XT (which i believe will have the power of a speculative 8800XT which i want to buy) the site claims the CPU to be the bottleneck.
Now i know that there is more to it than just the usage in the control center, but does this seem sketchy to someone else?
GPU is supposed to run at 100% though. If it drops it’s either not a graphically demanding game or you are cpu limited
