Hello forum, my system shows 100% GPU usage during gaming sessions. Is this normal behavior or a sign of overheating and inefficiencies? I’m seeking recommendations for optimizing drivers and in-game settings while maintaining visual quality. Has anyone experienced similar issues? Any troubleshooting advice would be greatly appreciated. Please advise soon.

Hey there!
I've seen 100% GPU usage in many modern games—it's pretty common as the GPU is designed to push as much power as necessary for high-end visuals. However, the real red flag is if your temperatures are spiking into unsafe territory (generally above 85°C under load). I use MSI Afterburner to track my temps, and as long as they’re in check, 100% usage is just the card doing its job.
Also, make sure to:
- Update to the latest drivers from the manufacturer.
- Clean out any dust from your GPU and case.
- Tweak in-game settings like shadows and ambient occlusion if temperatures are still a concern.
Hope that helps!
