Hello my specs are

Asus ROG Crosshair VII Hero x470
AMD R7 2700X (PBO on)
RTX 3080
16GB @3200mz (XMP on)

I wanted to know if getting around 40-50% cpu usage while gaming is normal?
Most of the titles I tried it it's same case, some others even lower.

*EDIT* My GPU usage if fine, high as it should be.

Is something wrong with that? I thought I should expect around high 70s to 80%
And if there's something fishy, any ideas on what should I try to fix?
Feel free to ask for more info if needed, thanks in advance
 
No that's perfectly normal. the more cores you have the less the overall cpu usage in games.

Its always better to have a gpu bottleneck than a cpu bottleneck.
Do you see any kind of bottleneck based on my numbers?
Also I check while playing some games that half or more of my logical cores are idle and that causes ridiculous framerates.
Now I dont think I would get such low frames in this system (its not top end but still its quite okay for higher rates on 1440p)
