Steam games overload graphics card? (GTX1060)?

I have the problem that my GPU is at a 100% load as soon as I start a steam game, so of course I have little FPS and the games can't play well
but when I start playing games that are not over Steam (eg Minecraft or Fortnite), the load is normal and the FPS is also quite high up
So my question: What could be the problem and how could I fix it?

Are you playing in 4k? But the card sucks.

Otherwise that would have to work

So normally, if you have not set FPS limit, your GPU will always run at 100% while playing

Minecraft and fortnite generally have lower requirements.

Either there's a software problem with your GPU driver (just reinstall) or mot Steam (also reinstall, can keep your games on the computer and you need to reinitialize them later, do not download extra)

Nope

Otherwise I would just need the info which games on which settings

I'm currently trying to play only steelcircus, the graphics have already made as low as it is possible
still have only 10-15FPS

If you think that you have more FPS with 80% utilization, then you are wrong. The graphics card is the last link in the chain in front of your monitor. Actually, you always want it to be 100% busy, because only then will it bring you full power and you have maximum FPS.

This means for you now: In the games you play on Steam, the card is at the end. If you want more FPS, you have to turn down the settings. In Minecraft and Fortnite you will be limited by something else, probably your processor, so that the graphics card can't play its full power there.

With Steam or not Steam that has nothing to do. Is solely and solely on the game.

In games like steelcircus or dota underlords (which have no high requirements) I also have very little FPS… Generally iwie in all steam play
Not at steam, however, do not play

Define very little. Settings reduced times?

At steelcircus 10-15 FPS. Attitudes are as low as it gets

Maybe somehow the steam launcher or so your CPU full load. Then she can no longer feed the GPU with data.

Or, more likely, driver problem or problem with steam. Reinstall the Nvidia driver clean and then get in touch

Do you have a laptop?

I have already tried drivers to reinstall, CPU utilization is in play at about 40%

[…] GPU at a 100% load is as soon as I start a steam game, so of course I have little FPS

Strange conclusion.

Will probably be more of a game than something else. I do not know that, so I can't say anything about that.

No

Yes I have noticed now synonymous ^^

Is at all steam play like that
dota underlords, csgo, rocket league, steelcircus…

Name your remaining hardware. Did it run normally?

Intel i7 7700k 4.20Ghz
16GB RAM
Before, all games were normal

Monitor connected to graphics card or motherboard?

Thanks for the help, is fixed ^^

Thanks for the help, is fixed ^^

Thanks for the help, is fixed, that was exactly my problem… Stupid mistake ^^

I already thought

What was it?

This is always the best in forums. At the end only "nevermind, found the solution" and then the OP has no desire to tell posterity.
