GPU 100% @low (gtx1080)
Hello, my GPU GTX 1080 runs at 100%, overheating after a while only when playing Apex (yes fans are working,at full power). CPU (8700k) usage seems fine. Other games are not a problem. I'm also getting minor freezes even tho the FPS counter was showing constantly 100.
Things I tried to lower my GPU usage:
Disable windows Game Bar + Game Mode
Disable any overlays
Newest + older GPU drivers
Windows up-to date
Changing the resolution from 1440p to 1080p (still 100%, the hell?)
Changing FPS cap from 100hz to 60hz (still 100%)
Everything is at low or disabled
Power Management set to highest performance/power
Reinstall of the game
I was playing Apex (season 1) before with this setup, with no problems. The only thing that has changed is Apex, Windows version and GPU drivers.
I'm sorry but playing at 1080p with low/disabled settings, 60 FPS and getting 100% GTX1080 usage is just wrong.
I don't even know where the problem is, it's either Apex, Windows version or GPU drivers. What can I do to play this game at reasonable settings with reasonable usage?
At stock clock speeds your GPU should be able to run at 100% usage all day long.
Check the following info and adjust your clocks (Base/memory) accordingly.

Make sure your monitor(s) is/are only connected to your GPU and not your motherboard video.
Thanks.
