Most games are programmed to just have the GPU generate frames as fast as it can. So it'll run at 100%.
On some games, there's a setting to limit the framerate. This will let the GPU "rest" after a frame is drawn, until it's displayed and the next frame needs to be drawn. If your GPU is overkill for these games (framerate is much higher than your monitor's refresh rate), then you can try limiting framerate (if the game supports it) to reduce GPU load.
Or you can crank up other graphics options until the framerate starts to approach (but stays above) the refresh rate. Your GPU will still run at 100%, but at least it'll be doing useful stuff instead of wasting electricity generating frames which will never be displayed.
