As the title says..
I've been wondering if it is normal?
And i wouldn't mind it being at so high, but it's that the games i play, like gta 5, skyrim SE, mostly, it gets fps drops from time to time.
So i started to wonder if there was something wrong with my gpu?

System specs:
Gigabyte GTX 970 g1 gaming
I5-6600k @ 4GHz
16gb kingston hyperx ddr4 @ 2666MHz
Asus z170-a motherboard

Playing games on 2 screens(not at the same time), one is 24" 144Hz 1080p and another one 40" 60Hz 1080p.

Please help, and ask questions if u feel like it, thanx :)

Completely normal. Play some older titles and you should see it relax a little. I have the 970 FTW from EVGA. I've seen the same and it's not restricted to the 900 series. It's normal for all...

Yep - totally normal. I have 970s in SLI with a 1440p monitor and am regularly above 95% GPU usage in games like Witcher 3, Hitman, and Crysis 3. Also, the higher the quality settings and higher the AA, the more load will be put on your GPU, even at 1080p.

Thanx, does your game have some fps drops because of it as well then?

There are FPS drops during intense scenes in some more graphically demanding games. Although that is due to the 970 being a few years old so it's showing its age. It all depends on the game and the in game GFX settings. Most games I can enable vsync so the FPS is locked to the refresh rate(60Hz) of my TV.
