100% gpu usage
I have a Nvidia RTX 3050 ti and the game is using 100% gpu usage and its making my PC hot. I realized that while i was playing with my friend and i pressed Nvidia Performance Overlay my CPU useage was under 20% but when i looked at my GPU usage it was 100%. Sometimes it went down the 60 or 50% then it just goes up fast to 100%. Did anyone expirence this. Can some one help me fix this issue?

There's nothing to fix actually. If you want to lower your GPU usage and PC temp then use the frame rate limiter in the options

If you are using windows then it is ok. I have an RTX 3060, but during the game, the GPU is loaded not by the game, but by system processes, and this is normal. You can fix it - you must either update the drivers, or roll back the drivers, or pray, or endure the bro

Congrats you are getting your moneys worth out of your GPU.

There is no issue here.

100% load on your GPU is a good thing. Not a bad thing.

100% GPU load means you're not bottlenecked by the CPU.

Try undervolting your gpu with msi afterburner if you want to lower temps

Do you want less FPS? 100% gpu means you get maximum FPS possible for your video card.

100% isn't necessarily bad. How hot is hot? Is it over 75C at your GPU? If not then it's nothing to worry about. Personally I'd only start worrying when temps top 90C.

You could always water cool if you're worried about temps, or lower your settings. Are you limiting the framerate? 60fps should be more than enough, 30 or more used to be ideal for most competitive FPS games.

unless your GPU is getting to 85-90+° range you don't need to worry about temperatures. GPUs nowadays are built to run hot anyways and they are barely used by your computer when not playing games or doing anything 3D intensive so they have plenty of time spent at modest temps
%100 GPU utilisation is a good thing. it shows the card's resources are being used effectively. i would be more worried if it wasn't %100
