Hi, so no matter what game i play my cpu is working way harder than my gpu and im not sure how to fix it. I factory reset my PC and that didnt fix it so i went into Nvidia control panel and changed aload of settings that are supposed to make the GPU work harder, That didnt work so i reset the setting back to normal and now im not sure what else i can do. I have had this PC for 2 years it has only recently started playing up.

Specs:

Geforce GTX 1080
31.97 GB RAM
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz, 4200 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
MSI Z270-A PRO Motherboard

I tried a GPU stress test program from msi called kombuster and on task force it seemed to work fine 90/100 percent usage on GPU and around 50 percent on the CPU. I then re tried playing R6 and CPU was at 100 again and GPU at 30 :L

Sorry I should have stated that earlier, im getting good fps in r6 like 120ish but in Rust i get like 65 when i feel like if my pc was using 100 percent i would get a lot more but the main problem is micro stutters and freezing
