I recently bought GTX 1050 Ti and my processor is Athlon x4 740 Quad Core 3.2 GHz. My GPU Usage is very low when playing games and i have alot of FPS drops. Is there any chance of increasing GPU Usage or stoping this bottleneck without buying another proccesor?
 
Solution
If your framerates are dropping because your CPU is weak, there is unfortunately basically nothing you can do about it. If it were your GPU causing the drops you could always lower graphical settings, but CPU needs are basically fixed. Worse still, socket FM2/2+ has no real upgrades. You either live with what you have, or you replace it with a new motherboard, processor and RAM.

Overclocking your CPU can help a tiny bit, but don't expect much.

When im playing some games, I see that my GPU Usage is very low. I think that's bottleneck beacuse that happend to alot people when they have bottleneck.
 
Are your framerates low?

Low GPU usage means you can turn up your graphical settings and you will have zero negative impact on framerates.

EDIT: Either CPU or GPU usage will always be below 100%. There's always going to be a bottleneck, in every case. What's important is that your games play well.
