What is the relation between GPU temp and GPU usage% ?

I can not find my answer online.
My GPU is acting crazy.
In some games where usage is 80% it goes to 75 degrees (BF1)
and in others where usage it 55% it goes 72 degrees(insurgency)
and in other games where 99% usage is seen, it stays at 70 degrees

clearly im missing something there
 
Solution
You are missing 2 important variable: Fan Speed and GPU Frequency. Plot that against load vs temp, and I bet u get a more linear relationship.
It could be other factors. BF1 is very cpu heavy so it could be the CPU is dumping more hot air into the case and helping to raise the air temperature in the case which would negatively impact cooling of all components.

If all else is equal you would expect temperatures to go up with usage. How much depends on fan curve and cooling efficiency.
