Hey everyone i just built my new gaming pc and Problem is my gpu usage around like 30%-40%( tried with Pubg, cs go, rust ......) Specs:
i7 6700
Gtx1070
8Gbs of ram
Psu: 500W
So i think my PSU is too low for my cpu and gpu ?
I tried so many ways to increase my gpu usage.
What do you guys think ? (Sorry for my English)

Sorry but whether it is 80+ bronze, titanium or gold doesn't change the needed wattage.

A 500W PSU should easily suffice for this build given the rating for the 12V rails isn't crazily stupid low (something like 15A)

If you had too little juice your computer would most likely just shut down.

It's probably some driver related issue.

personally with a build like this i would have gone with a 700W 80+bronze or a 500W 80+ titanium so it depends on the rating if its unrated then i would recommend at least getting a 600W 80+ bronze but i doubt it has anything to do with GPU usage and as far as trying to increase it during gaming ive also tried and failed allot.
