If you're like me, noticed a weird smell in the room, opened your Task Manager and saw this:

then hopefully this guide should be able to help you get rid of that situation.

The GPU I'm using is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB.

What I did was:

1. Go to the NVIDIA Control Panel

2. Go to 3D settings, select Program Settings

3. Select the game

4. Scroll down to Max Frame Rate, set it to 58 FPS (60 Hz monitor, so I'm going for 2 FPS below the cap, set your own FPS based on your own monitor's refresh rate / preference).

Now my GPU usage is mainly around 40-60%, it sometimes jumps to about 80-95%, but not that often.

Compared to the previous constant 100%, this is not that bad.
