High GPU load?

After some short testing with gpu z, I found when testing GTA 5 the GPU load was very high.

 

When walking he load ranged from 65%-75%

 

When driving it ranged from 70%-80%

 

My current specs is:

GPU: Sapphire Radeon R7 265

CPU: Intel I5 4460

 

I might upgrade my CPU soon to the Intel I7 4790k

 

What can I do about the GPU load?

 

 

 

I5 4460 | Sapphire R7 265 | 8gb DDR3

Well, the GPU isn't particularly powerful in the first place.

Weird, the gpu load should be 100%. Do you have vsync or any fps limiter enabled?
