I believe so, your GPU is doing all the work...

Yup, as long as your GPU is being maxed out you're already having all the 'performance' for you games.

 

Ideally you want to max out your GPU with as little usage on the CPU as possible so all is good.

Yep, that is how healthy gaming system operates. GPU must always be over 80% load when gaming in a well balanced system while CPU should have breathing room.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Zotac RTX 5090 SOLID OC/ x2 WD_BLACK NS770 2TBs/ Corsair HX1000i/ NZXT H5 Flow

Yeah i understand but i thought in my head that the evga ftw3 ultra rtx 2080 ti is powerful for more than my resolution so i thought a game like pubg wont max it out like that. espcially im not playing on all ultra settings and my settings are mixed between medium/ultra/high

The 2080ti is strong, which is why you can play a game, that is as poorly optimized as PUBG at the settings you're playing it at.

 

Tldr; You're fine, this is intended behaviour

75% of what I say is sarcastic

 

So is the rest probably

PUBG is just poorly optimized

You're letting the card push as many frames as it can, thats why the usage is at 100%, if you limited the FPS it would drop

If you're not limiting your Frames Per Second with something like V-Sync then the video card will produce as many frames as it possibly can and if your CPU is good enough it'll go as far as maxing out.

 

Also 3440x1440p is not a 'small/light' resolution at all.
