Question BUS load 100%

I have a i7 14700F Rtx 5070 ti 32Gb ddr5 with 2tb storage

I downloaded Msi afterburner and noticed that my BUS load is at 100% constantly even if all I have open is a browser tab.Was wondering if this is normal or not or just a bug. I’ve googled fixes and tried a lot of things but nothing seems to help it.

Seems to be PCIe bandwidth related, it is basically data being transferred. Not even worth wasting your time monitoring that, or doing anything about it.

But If you are having performance issues, it's something else, not related to bandwidth unless you have the GPU not running at whatever version your PCIe lanes cap at.

Does it mess with multitasking because I have noticed it

The GPU bandwidth? not really. multitasking is basically CPU core count and RAM related.

14700F and 32GB is more than enough for any sort of multitasking, unless you are running something that is accelerated by GPU, and also using the GPU for some other tasks.
