So yesterday I brought up a thread about how my graphics card had gone wrong and didnt work properly as I was getting insane fps lag in League of Legends. So the person told me to check my GPU usage and said that 100% was sketchy. However, today the problem got fixed in itself.

So I did test out my GPU load through GPU-Z tech power up and it said that when I played with uncapped fps frames in LoL it was around between 75%~98% gpu load, and with 60 fps cap I played with a gpu load of between 40~60%. However, when I played a more demanding game such as Kritika online (Korean action MMO) I got the same of around 80~98% gpu load spiking between these numbers.

So just to be sure is 90%'s gpu usage bad? Will it do any damage to my computer?
My specs are:
Alienware m14x R1
Nvidia GeForce GT 555m
Intel core i7-2670QM CPU @2.20GHz
Integrated Graphics card: Intel HD 3000
Windows 7 Home Premium
Ram: 4GB

Also I did update my drivers to the latest version but just updated it without uninstalling my previous drivers... is that bad?
 
Solution
No it does not hurt anything, just doing what it is supposed to do. You have a strong CPU joined with a mediocre GPU which is limiting your gaming experience.

Just a question, do you know if I would be able to change my graphics card later on? I took it once with a computer savvy person and he told me that all my computer inside is really compacted together so it is really hard for my gpu to do any work.
I would love to change my GPU soon but idk if its possible
