My Cam software shows 100% GPU Load and I do feel some heat producing and it is at 68 degrees while not playing anything. When I go to task manager to see what is using but it hovers aroud 0-5% usage. Please help, why is my 3070 running 100% load when not doing anything. I ran anti virus but shows nothing
 
Provide FULL PC specs. Which Power Supply unit/PSU are you having ?

The GPU load should not be 100% at least in idle mode. Something in the background might be running. Which tool are you using to monitor the GPU's load ? GPU-Z ?

Are you sure your PC has no Bitcoin Mining Virus ( crypto-mining malware that is using the GPU to mine some cryptocurrency. )? This can also cause a 80 to 100% load on the GPU most of the time.
