Why This Bottleneck Occurs

At 1080p resolution for gaming, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5965WX (Desktop) 3.80 GHz creates a moderate bottleneck (25%) when paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060. The CPU cannot feed data to the GPU fast enough, meaning the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 is not being fully utilized. At 1080p, the CPU is under heavier load because frame rates are higher and the GPU finishes frames faster.
