Need some help. When playing Far Cry 4 and Dying Light, my GPU usage starts going up to 99% then my FPS go down about 24 - 30 FPS. Even at low settings, GPU usage goes to 99% and very low FPS. GPU temps stays at about 42C. Other games run just fine. GTA V runs perfect at 60 FPS at high. All drivers are up to date. None of my components are overclocked. Not sure what the problem might be. Any help would be appreciated.
