My gpu is underload when gaming

[chickenwings14]

While gaming dota2, pubg, and other games my gpu is not running @ 100% load and it stutters a lot.

my full specs:
cpu: core i7 7700
gpu: gtx 1080
cpu cooler: cryorig r1 ultimate
psu: seasonic m12ii 620w
ram: 2x8gb 2400mhz
storage: -120gb ssd for os and pubg
-hdd 1tb for games and other files

The best option to get it to run under max load is to remove the FPS cap. It will try to push as many frames as possible. If it's stuttering then something else is causing the stuttering. Might want to check CPU/GPU temps.

Is VSYNC on?, what is your CPU usage?

I tried to maxed out the settings and turned off the vsync to maximize the gpu usage and still won't push to its full performance. I also thought it was the cpu temp so I bought the r1 cooler and my cpu is now fine the temps is like from 60-70 at full load. I will post some screenshot later. also the gpu usage on dota2 is running at 40-50ish then on pubg its on 60-70ish

You have background software running that's causing the stuttering.
Often gamers think they can run 500 "gaming utilities" while they are playing a game. BUT... Gamers would do best by not loading ANY gaming programs aside from the game they want to play. Talked to one guy that was trying to use a utility designed for his PREVIOUS video card and he was also trying to run a new software. Think thin. Think minimalist. Games run best when NOTHING else is running.
I highly doubt it's do to temp issues or vsync.

You could see if it's getting stuck on bad data on the disk:
CHKDSK c: /R (google it)

Very likely a software program that you wouldn't have suspected is causing the issue.
