First of all- i7 7700k, GTX 1080ti, 16GB DDR4 3000MHz, my basic specs

To simply describe the issue, I play Fortnite at a capped frame limit of 120 and my GPU usage sits at a normal 60% ish area however whenever I uncap my frames, my GPU usage will shoot up to 98-100% for whatever reason and i've yet been able to find a solution, any help would be greatly appreciated

Well since its Fortnite it's ran at relatively low settings to just help the game look better, for whatever reason it does, and just 1920x1080 100%

I have this same problem, im a newbie and this makes my pc render buildings when uncapped. I can only play when its capped to 60fps. does it have to do with my monitor?
