I am getting these spikes while system is idle is it normal?

Thank you in advance!

Titan is a very big and rare card.  I have no experience personally with them to the point that I don’t even know what the difference is between it, and say a 2080ti excepting it having more memory.  There are those here that do.  While waiting for one to appear, All I can do is make generalization which only might be useful.

 

Spoiler

The problem with graphs is they have variable scales.  it may not be going up to the 30% it looks like.  I don’t know what that 3506 number means and what percentage of use it actually is.  

 

Can you be more specific about idle?  Screen on? No mouse movement? Are these moments of gpu activity accompanied by cpu activity as well?  (Some are flat on to so spike seems like the wrong word to me though that might not be true in this case and you have the correct one) they all seem to be going to exactly the same level and back down.  As if the same thing is occasionally occurring.  Might just be the mouse occasionally activating and moving a pixel or so.

Thank you,

 

Idle= monitor on, no mouse movement and nothing happens on screen other then monitor being on. 

 

And another word i could use instead of spike would be surge of usage on the GPU for no reason.

Mouse movement may not actually be zero.  Modern Mice are very sensitive.  Buildings shift.  Trucks drive by.  I don’t know.  A possible test might be to reduce mouse sensitivity a lot or unplug the mouse and see if the behavior continues.
