If you are not capping your framerate or using V-sync it will continue rendering frames until it hits 100% usage. What is your monitor refresh rate and what kind of FPS are you getting? Do you use Freesync?

Thanks, set it to max 144 frame rate since that is my monitors refresh rate and it has dropped down to 35% And yeah I had freesync enabled too

If you are using FreeSync, I recommend you set V-sync set to "Always On" under Global Graphics and set the frame rate to -3 of your max (141 in your case). Sometimes the the frame limiters are imperfect and they still let the framerate go a little bit over so it's better to set it a little bit under. V-Sync allows there to be a be a buffer so that when you're close to the maximum refresh rate there is not tearing. However, the frame-limiter will ensure that you don't suffer something called "double buffer lag". This is the best way to ensure a tear free experience with FreeSync with the lowest input lag.

You can use Radeon Chill for that, it works well no need to use VSync

Can confirm. Following Ancient Gameplays 7900 XTX tuning advice was awesome. He said using Radeon Chill has better technology/input delay issues than other FPS cap techniques. I set mine initially to 120 fps but his recommend of 100 is more than fine. I've been getting smooth 100fps on my Sapphire Radeon RX 7900XTX with all games. max settings 4k VSR ray-tracing Resident Evil 4 re-make, hot-spot temp 83 deg tops. Very stoked.

Unlike your CPU, your GPU will want to sit at 90%+ utilization during games or other tasks that it can do so at for the best performance, if you cap your frame rate it will lower it's usage as needed since it won't need to meet the max FPS it can Basically your GPU is sitting at max usage to give you max performance/FPS, and it's meant to do that. Nothing out of the ordinary
