"Low" gpu usage, no matter what

+
Hello, please help me understand what is happening with my hardware and this game:

My gpu is a RTX 2060 super, cpu Ryzen 5 2600 at stock settings, 16 gb of ram 3000 mhz dual channel, game is installed in a M.2 NVME SSD and I'm using the AMD SMT fix mod, which indeed gave me more stable fps over 60's most of the time.

However.

My gpu still sits at 60% usage on all ultra settings except RT, dlss quality. While cpu sits at 80% usage tops, with the usual frame drops to the 40's on places like Japantown and Kabuki market. Turning on RT, however, makes my gpu usage go for around 80% and my frames to cap at 45 ish. So, what the hell? Still looks iike I have room to spare in terms of performance (even though my setup is not the most powerful around by no means, but then again, 1080p with dlss should be easy to handle, right?) but it is just not happening.

Please, educate me on the subject.

Thanks.
