my gpu usage won't go below 50% usage

[IvIast3r]

so this has been going on for a few days now, my 780ti will not go below 50%  at idle

Edit: to clarify some things, its just my power draw not the gpu usage, the card is drawing 50% and maintaining a 50 Celsius temp all while the usage is at 0 (so basically the card is not dropping clock to idle clocks)

 
things i have tried:
Process explorer (nothing is using the gpu)
Virus scans (nothing found)
Malware scans (nothing found)
Driver update (nothing new)
Driver rollbacks (same result)

Underclocking(will not drop below base clock)

Verified that no profiles in EVGA Precision x are running and set

Changing windows power settings (no change on all settings)

Removing razor synapsis (same thing)

Settings global 3d settings to adaptive as well as applications to adaptive in nvidia control panel (same thing)

 

Other Notes:

using windows 8.1 64 bit

I use evga Precision x to overclock occasionally

 

 

and the chrome drops off when i close chrome

Have you tried settings your PC to high performance in power option?

yes, always have it like that, but my gpu use to idle when i had win 7

 

even on power saving settings, does not idle

Ok, i'd say try to remove your overclock, has it started happening after the overclock or its was doing it before?

its never 24/7 overclocked at least right now, when i get back home in 6 months and i am back to my tri screen setup it will be overclocked but currently i am just using 1 1080p monitor so i only overclock when i play crysis 3, or benchmark

 

EDIT: oh and i don't know when it started happening, i just noticed it the past few days

 Try Nvidia Inspector Right click on show overclocking > multi display power saver

Put a check mark next to your GPU and it should down clock.
