yes, this power usage is the absolute max, you'll never reach that

Depends on the card and whether it's overclocked or not.

Pascal Undervolting topic, get more out of your card with less power!

Why high refreshrate monitors look better even without Freesync/G-sync in one image.
Stutters, framedrops, "lag". How to provide detailed information with your "bottleneck" question, as well as a few solutions.

Does ur system also never exceed 60% power usage????? ?

The percentage depends on the card, and is card specific... Especially with nvidia GPU boost 3.0, the cards will overclock themselves to different speeds, making their power usage different for each card (with the same GPU). There's also the overclock factor where it can bring the power usage up, or the undervolt factor where it can bring it down.

My card is a Zotac 960 4gb Amp. Its factory ocd

Not all factory overclocked "Zotac 960 4GB Amp" will use the same, each GPU requires a different voltage to achieve the same clocks. Also, this means your power delivery system is well enough for a massive GPU overclock. 

My card (GTX 1080 G1 Gaming) is running between 95-105% of power usage, as it was factory overclocked, manually overclocked, and is watercooled for a higher boost clock
