gpu running at 100% doing things it should be using 1% doing

i was playing skyrim with the lowest resolution, windowed with nothing else open lowest quality at 100% which caused a estimated 200ms input lag (i guess) my specs are , 8GB Ram, asus z87-k mobo, sapphire tri x r9 290 GPU, intel i7 4790k CPU and a modular corsair cx750M psu. i've formatted the computer and reinstalled all the drivers correctly, my temps are normal but that's only cause i've put all my fans to 100% and i have every single fan i can fit in my coolermaster 550 silencio tower. if you want more info i've posted another post about this only now i have a diffrent question due to more information.

i've been told that it should be using 100% or else i'd not be getting the most out of it. that is bullshit i should only need a couple % running 8-bit skyrim because if that uses 100% it wont be able to run games like crysis like it's suppose to, and also might i add i've tried playing league of legends with it and it runs just fine, however if i put it to max quality my computer crashes, ( crash as in my computer restarts without warning at all, it can be cold and my fans only at like 20% speed and then suddenl*restart*)

it would also be wonderful to chat with someone who knows his shit instead of this so i wont have to wait for an answer that might never come cause he forgot he asked a question here

if you dont put vsync to on in games graphics menus then your gpu is always going to run at high usage pumping out frames that you cant see.
set vsync to 60fps/htz & you gpu usage will drop accordingly

just tried, nothing changed [ turning Vsync on in cs go increased the input lag immensely ] and also if my computer didnt sound like a helicopter my temps would also skyrocket
