Why is my gpu usage so much higher than my cpu when on Minecraft?
Noticed when I’m playing Minecraft that my gpu usage is a lot higher than my cpu usage and I was under the impression that Minecraft was supposed to be a cpu intensive game? Stats are: RtX 3060 12gb Ryzen 5 5500 16gb DDR4 ram

If your gpu isn’t being fully used then you would be cpu bottlenecked. That’s not a bad thing it just means it’s delivering frames as efficiently as it can

Minecraft is a CPU intense game, are you using texture packs?
They are more GPU focused. Or check you’re settings for Minecraft self, the higher quality your settings the more both your CPU and GPU is going to be utilized.

that’s a good thing, you are probably using some mode and loading less chunk.
