GPU at 100% and processor at 80%

[DA FISH]

Hello!
Since november 1st I have been seeing suspicious activity on my pc.

When I open task manager for a split second it says the processor is at 80% then goes down to around 5%. Another issue is that when I open any game (even the smallest ones that shouldn't do this (OpenBVE)) the GPU goes to 100%. I suspect a malware but malwarebytes and windows security can't find anything. The memory usage is consistently at 40%. I didn't download any suspicious files lately so that is why I'm asking.

If you can please help me with this issue.

Also I hope I sent it in the right place

dont trust task manger
check with gpuz
if its 100% of the gpu idle clock, that fine

Ok

The GPU clock says 300 MHz in idle. Then I launched a game and it went up to 2000 MHz

100% gpu wel 99% is what you want it is the cpu you don't want pegged at 100% because that would mean stutters

yes it is supposed to boost the mhz up past specs of your card due to gpu boost v3 or whatever version your gpu has it basically overclocks itself depending on factors like temperature headroom

it is also normal for anything that can read your sensors to have a split second of it not detecting the sensor to contact it usually programs would load sensors first then start the interface

just run msi afterburner it wil also install rivastatistics server then open settings in msi afterburner go to monitoring and pick whatever ones you want and click the box show in on screen display this wil cause rivastatistics tuner to startup as its the layer that provides the on screen display

after your done go to on screen display and change the toggle on screen display to any button you like i linked it to the end button you can also enable system time from here

and the load is around 55%

Thanks for the help!

Which means your GPU is doing fine.
Even with some gpus MSI Afterburner can misread it as what % of the GPU is being used but not the clock speed. One of the reasons is the power saving states.

There are spikes in CPU when you open something, including task manager.
GPUs tend to idle unless set to the contrary, until a load is put onto it.

The load on the CPU/GPU will then depend on the hardware, the task, and settings related to it. So far this sounds normal.

(Sorry for late repsonse) Thanks all!

??
why dont try taskmanager?

task manager does not show if the gpu is at idle/performance/boost clocks
80% load of idle clock is nothing, while 80% load of turbo clock is a huge difference

will also show if the gpu is throttling, and its temps
