hello

so i was wondering if my CPU is bottlenecking, in some of my games, my CPU usage goes up to 90-100 percent, but i get a high FPS with no drops. doesn't a high usage mean there's a bottleneck? here's my specs

mobo: GIGABYTE G41MT-S2PT
CPU: Intel Xeon X5460 OC to 3.42 GHz
GPU: EVGA GeForce GT 730 2 GB GDDR5
RAM: G.skill 8 GB DDR3 1333 MHz
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
 
Solution
The reason you may not be seeing your cpu usage at max because your graphics card is weak and your processor can easily handle it. Your processor is definitely not bottlenecking your graphics card.
