I'm using afterburner to limit GPU usage to 90% it allows me do it but whenever I go into a game it still goes above 90% usage. Why is that happening?
 
Solution
Yes, I also have the latest Nvidia drivers. is it supposed to do that? like it limits it but it still tells me that it's using 100%?
Afterburner is a constant work-in-progress due to new GPU's being launched every few months or so, it could be a problem in the software itself since yours is still a fairly recent card. You could try using a different software. I saw someone who had the same issue and fixed it by reinstalling Windows, but honestly it's fairly hit and miss.
Well unfortunately I don't personally know you and your knowledge regarding Afterburner.

Are you on the latest drivers and latest Afterbuner version?

Yeah, I also came across that but I'm not really willing to do that, anyways thanks for your time!
