In games like apex legends, gta and fortnite i have a cpu utilization of 80-90% (i5 8400) and a gpu utilization of 30-40% (gtx 1070) which gives me bad fps. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Check better CPU and RAM
How do the FPS look in the respective games and with what settings / resolution do you play?
It would be very nice if you gave us your complete hardware!
Your cpu is too bad for the 1070.
So CPU and graphics card go together quite well.

How much ram do you have?
Which games are you talking about?
Some games demand a lot more from the CPU than the graphics card. And sometimes it's the other way around.
And what screen resolution do you play at?
Do you use a "conventional" 60Hz monitor?
Maybe we'll get on with it.
How do you come to this conclusion?
90% CPU usage, 40% GPU usage. That's how I get it.
That's not really a conclusive reason.
We're missing information about the rest of the hardware, the game in question and the potential optimization options.
This CPU is at least a 6/6 core, the 8th generation. So "weak" looks different.

And this CPU is on par with a Ryzen 5 3600 (6/12 cores).
1. You don't need the other hardware because the CPU is almost fully utilized and the GPU sleeps during this time. Or do you think it's the RAM?
2. CPU userbenchmark favors Intel with a good bit, and is hardly suitable for determining performance. The 8400 is clearly behind the 3600 if you look at real benchmarks. In terms of gaming performance, the 10600k is more comparable to the 3600 and still has a poorer multicore performance.
I5 8400, gtx 1070, 8gb ddr4 ram, 550 watt power supply, 256gb ssd, 1tb hdd
-I have 8gb ddr4 ram with 2400mhz -It's about warzone, fortnite and valorant
-I play on 1080p
-I have a 144hz monitor
Just checked again at fortnite. Have on the lowest settings at 1080p around 70-90 fps mostly
And that with 80% CPU utilization?
So, I would advise you to use 16GB too uneven. The CPU is not really the best either, but it should be enough, because if I watch the gameplays on YouTube with your i5 8400 and the gtx 1070, you get a pretty good smooth game.
That's why I can't explain to you why you get so little FPS, sorry.
Maybe the drivers are out of date?
"Upgrade", sorry.
Yes
What kind of RAM did you use exactly?
An 8gb ddr4 with 2400mhz
"a bar 8gb ddr4 with 2400mhz"
Unfortunately, this is not good because you lose so much power… 2 bars with 3600mhz would be good
comparison SingleChanel vs Dualchanel (1vs 2 modules) (in this case 2666Mhz)
comparison 2400mhz vs 3600mhz each 2 modules (dual channel)
It is quite possible that this is your bottleneck:-)
ps:
But your FPS still seem a bit too low to me… Maybe something is eating up CPU performance in the background
