Hello

I have been playing Overwatch lately and I saw that my GPU usage while playing it is 20% or lower, but at every other game my GPU usage is 60%+.

Here are my specs
CPU : amd A6-6400k
GPU : GTX 750 TI (overclocked it to 1350 mhz)
8 GB ram
PSU : Evga 500w

Havent seen any thread like this that is solved :/

That sounds like the CPU is holding it back, which is quite possible as it's only a dual core.

Your best option would be to look at a CPU upgrade- the best gaming cpu for that socket is the Athlon X4 760k (it doesn't have onboard graphics but you don't need that as the 750ti is way better).

Upgrading to that will shift more load onto the graphics card so usage (and frame rates) should go up nicely. Most modern games are built with quad core in mind.

Edit: it might be worth double checking that cpu is compatible with your motherboard though first, do you know the make / model?

My motherboard model is Asus F2A56-m/m11bb/dp_mb (copied what is writen on the mother board)
so you are saying the more cores the better the processor is?
and if you know a CPU that is going to be compatible in that mother board and that is good, then let me know
Thank you for the quick response and for your time.

Ok so think I've found your motherboard- it supports the AMD Athlon X4 760k, which is the best gaming processor your board can support.

In terms of cores, for gaming the optimum is around 4-6. There are processors with more (e.g. AMD FX 8 core, Intel now do a 10 core extreme edition), however these don't provide much benefit for gaming.

A 760k is ideal for gaming though, it's quick, has 4 cores which suits most modern games and doesn't cost too much.
