High GPU Usage

[ironcreeper2004]

Hi, so my GPU usage has always been high in all of my games and i didn't think anything of it, but i'm not sure if it's normal. I was playing fortnite today and it was taking up 90% of the GPU consistently. I feel my tempered glass and its really hot, it always is when playing games but i didn't think anything of it. Is this normal? My GPU is a GTX 1080

you actually want the GPU usage to be as high as possible.
as for the temps, FEEL is not and objective measure.
use something like HWInfo64 or MSI Afterburner to monitor usage and temperatures (with numbers).
If you mounted the GPU vertically - bad idea.
if it's mounted normally, may be you need to add a fan or two to improve the case airflow.

10 minutes of playing fortnite, 77c max and 90% low load and 99% max load. Im using a phantek p400s with one stock fan and a cpu cooler with a dual fan mounted vertically.

And my GPU is whirring quite loudly

p400s supposed to come with two fans. 1 in front and 1 at the rear.
I'd buy a pair of good 140mm fans and put them in front of the case.
I'd also move the 120mm fan from the front to the top of the case (after adding two 140mm fans)
