High CPU Usage but Low GPU Usage

Why does the CPU use 100% utilization while GPU uses very little, like 5%?
When, for example, a CPU has higher utilization than the GPU, it means that the system is experiencing bottleneck.
Bottleneck refers to a component that limits the potential of other hardware due to differences in their maximum capabilities. The quality or age of components doesn’t necessarily cause it; rather, their performance. Bottlenecks aren’t unique to high-end systems either. Balance is equally important in systems with entry-level hardware.
Here are different ways to check the utilization of your system:
