DCS MT CPU/GPU usage 50%/50%

[Sn8ke]

In DCS MT, in the 4YA Caucus PVE Server, I noticed my CPU/GPU usage were both solidly hovering at about 50%.

Notably, my FPS, which I have capped at 60, was a solid 60 FPS 4K single monitor with not stuttering. Excellent performance, excellent texture quality in 4K, yet it seems my CPU/GPU are not using their full potential. With exception of preload radius (set to 35300), most of my settings are maxed out. I have hyperthreading turned on in BIOS, and hardware accelerated GPU scheduling turned on in Windows 10. 

My system: i7 8700K at 5.3GHz, 3090 RTX, and 32GB DDR4. Samsung Evo Pro 980 2Tb M.2.

Is this ideal, or does this indicate my CPU/GPU are not working to their full potential?

hello. my suggestion, if you feel you are running good, do not worry too much about getting better performance. you have an older CPU. i know others are using much older CPU. number of cores is a big selling point nowadays. but what is the single core performance of your CPU vs a newer one? this does matter and i am probably going to catch (500mm) flack for it but it really does matter.

i have an i9-11900KF

https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/SpeedTest/1515781/11th-Gen-IntelR-CoreTM-i9-11900KF---350GHz

so your CPU is still in upper 10%

Well if you capped the Frame rates your system will not be running full tilt. try uncapping the FPS and see what it will do then..
