Guild Wars 2 is mostly CPU-bound, so don’t be surprised if your GPU isn’t maxing out. You can try tweaking some CPU-heavy settings. For instance, reducing the character model limit can help a lot, but keep in mind that lower settings might affect experience in crowded areas.

I hear you! My CPU is barely hitting 30% usage too, so it’s not just you.
