My GPU is at low usage in GTA V. When running the graphics benchmark in the game, GPU usage goes almost double what is it in the game and so do fps. I'm using the highest settings with 1920x1080 resolution and my fps is 50-100. In the benchmark my fps was 120-200. I was monitoring my CPU and GPU with HWMonitor while playing and while doing the bechmark.

Playing:
CPU usage: 30 - 40%
CPU temp: ~65 °C

GPU usage: 40 - 50%
GPU temp: ~55 °C

GTA Benchmark:
CPU usage: 30 - 40%
CPU temp: ~65 °C

GPU usage: 70 - 86%
GPU temp: ~60 °C

Taskmanager was showing that game is using 30% of the memory, while 60% was used at that time.
Anyone has any ideas what could be causing this? I builded this pc under a month ago.

My specs

CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x
GPU: GeForce RTX 2070
SSD: Samsung 1TB 860 EVO
RAM: G.Skill 16GB (2x8GB), Ripjaws V, DDR4 3200MHz
MBD: ASRock B450 Pro4
PSU: Seasonic 650W FOCUS+ 650 Platinum
 
Well I was just driving around the map, in town and outside of it. In game I barely get over 100fps if I go outside of the town, but in the benchmark I drop under 100fps only at the end where is that big explosion.
