I have a gtx 1060 3 gb from gigabyte and i also have an Fx-6350 Black series from amd. my favorite game to play is pubg and when i play pubg my gpu loads at 95-100% 81C at 2200 rpm fan speed while my cpu loads at 30-43%, 40C.
is this normal? should i invest in a new gpu?
Thanks for helping.
Sorry for bad english.

Yes, this is definitely a situation where a game makes much heavier demands on the GPU than it does on the CPU.

A more powerful GPU would handle it more easily, and could get your more fps, depending on your monitor, resolution, etc.

What is the refresh rate, and do you play with Vsync on?

If the refresh is 60Hz, and you use Vsync on, then everything is fine if the card is maintaining that 60fps, no need to make any real changes.

If not, or if you use a higher refresh monitor, then maybe moving up to a 1070 might make sense.
