My pc is not using my gpu for games

Mgpr

My pc is not using my gpu for games. while playing Overwatch for example, my cpu is 50% up to 60% load while my gpu is between 0% to 0.1% load, it might be something with the task manager but idk. 

I also played "The witcher 3" and the same issue appeared.

That isn't a yes or no question. If it is plugged into the motherboard then it is plugged in inccorectly.

How is the in-game performance? If it was truly at that low of usage it would be pretty crap to say the least.

Then yeah it's probably showing incorrectly because at 1% usage it should be terrible.

Yeah even if it's a 1080 at 1% it still would be struggling to hit playable framerates. For reference when I had an issue where my gpu wasn't recognizing the new tomb raider as a game and didn't tamp up it had absolutely terrible performance with constant stuttering and lag. This was with a 2080ti.
