Hi guys, this is my first AMD build. I've always went intel. Anyway i'm running:
1440p monitor
3700x
32gb ram @ 3200mhz
RTX 3070 FE

Was playing some Horizon Zero Dawn, Control and Escape from Tarkov over the last 2 days. When monitoring with MSI afterburner, I barely see the CPU being pushed past 30% Even in Control playing on DX12 Raytracing on max. I'm getting 70-90 fps if I use DLSS.

Is this normal for the CPU useage on Ryzen? I take it the chip would only be running at 90-100% if all cores are being pushed?
 
ya, Rt on and DLSS on means the GPU is working hard. if you switch RT off then you will start seeing CPU being used more and those FPS goes up too
