GPU hitting 100% Utilization with low memory usage

Go to solution Solved by Timme,

100% GPU utilization means the GPU uses all its processing cores for any rendering task. Memory utilization shows the amount of VRAM allocated to each task according to its needs. So everything is as it should be.

Hi guys, think my PC is slightly under-performing for the specs that are in it, and with that I notice that the GPU tends to hit 100% with very low memory usage.

What could possibly be the problem here? - I attempted to scour previous threads but only coming to temperature issues, which is not the case here.

 

Or based on the benchmark provided by Unigine is it performing well? 

 

See uploaded images below for screenshots of Unigine benchmark, specs, OCCT and Task Manager views of the system.

thats a good thing not a bad thing

during a gpu test the gpu SHOULD hit 100% usage

GPU utilization does not take into account VRAM utilization.

 

In these cases, OCCT tests the GPU specifically with a repetitive low memory test, and Unigine Heaven is an old benchmark that doesn't use as much memory as benchmarks of today.
