CPU at 100% load GPU but only at 0.2 percent?

Today at Fortnite I noticed that my game was very 144hz. When I open my Task Manager I see that my CPU is 100 percent full but my GPU is only 0.2 percent? Do I have to set something right there or is that normal?

Is the game in the background when you look in the task manager (then in some games the GPU is hardly used because nothing is rendered)? Does Fortnite really use 100% or is it maybe a different program?

It is not normal to update the drivers and set the other in the fortnite settings for diectX10 / DirectX11 (depending on what is set for you) and see if it works better. Otherwise, look on the Internet to see what other reasons there might be, but as I said, it's definitely not normal

I have a 2 monitor Fortnite running on the main monitor

the task manager also runs

Have already tried directx11 and 12 does not change much

You may be reading the iGPU data (if you have one).

Where did you plug in the monitor cable? Maybe accidentally on the mainboard? Then it uses the internal graphics unit if your CPU has an e.

If you plugged it 100% into the GRaka you get no signal on the mainboard
