Specs:
Asus GTX 1080 A 8GB
i5-8600k
16GB TridentZ 3200Mhz
Asus Z-370 E-Gaming
EVGA 750W PSU
Monitor is 1080p 144Hz (and 144Hz is enabled)


PC is built like 2-3weeks ago where i had a fresh windows 10 install.

Problem is, I get a 20-40% GPU usage in for example The Witcher 3 (20-60fps) and Killing Floor 20-50fps).

But PUBG runs fine (mainly over 100fps at max settings) and my 3dmark result is fine. https://www.3dmark.com/spy/3051778

I have tried: DDU, nvidia control panel settings, vsync, in game settings and resolutions and full screen, windowed, tried running CPU and GPU at stock speeds with not luck. It doesn't matter if the game is on an SSD or HDD. Tried reinstalling both games. Thermals are ok. PLEASE HELP :??::??:

Mine was not set to "high performance" unfortunately this did not fix it but its done now.
Also I forgot to mention when I am in game and press ESC (goes to menu, game is paused on the background) i get 120fps. And also when i go to desktop my GPU usage goes to 92%. What could be causing this? Also it doesn't matter if I use a very poor resolution or 4k resolution, still the same GPU usage.

It's connected by 2x8 pin cables but it has 1x8 pin and 1x6pin slots. VGA 1 and VGA 2 slots. My PSU is single rail 12v 64.2A ? (EVGA 750W G2 Gold +). When I go to menu in the game GPU usage goes to 91%.... But when I go back to game its 30% and i get so low fps regarding the graphic settings...
