in heaven benchmark its 99% any one know of a fix?

(on latest drivers)

What are your settings? Fortnite isn't a very demanding game, but if you crank your textures and slam Vsync to high, you should see more usage. Also, have you capped your FPS?

fps capped at 144 settings all epic vsync off

So let me get this straight:

You're running max settings, getting above 144 fps, and you're complaining that your graphics card doesn't have to work very hard to do this? Not sure if I have the wrong idea but that's about  what it sounds like

I don't see why having only 50% GPU usage is bad.. It means that your GPU is handling the task very well. I don't think that's a bad thing.

Are you having frame issues? Something that is causing concern that your gpu isnt working? Any reason for you questioning this aside from a synthetic benchmark? Those will always tax your system, that's their purpose. 

 

Also what CPU do you have paired with this? In high frame gaming your CPU is often the cause for performance issues as it's having to push the frames, a lot of people overlook this.

In that case there would be something wrong. Have you checked CPU use (and not just the while CPU, have you checked the individual for use?)

cpu is fine i think it was at 50%-30%

You're running a rather dated CPU with a chance for degradation either way. I feel like that might be your issue.

You need to look at per core usage, generally speaking a game will not tax many cores, which in windows task manager and many other programs will show overall usage by default. 

 

Just a quick google search shows a lot of other people talking about 4790k's not able to perform at the frames you're looking for regardless of clock/cpu usage.
