are the GPU load readings correct?

[Nemac]

Hello there,

first, sorry for maybe bad english

I got some trouble with a game, Elite Dangerous. The GPU load seems to stay on 100% still after the game is closed. I noticed cause the GPU fans stay loud.
I try to check some about, but i dont trust the tool for now:

Game Running
Game running, GPU-Z and MSI-Afterburner show 100% Taskmgr show 30% Wich tool lie?

Game quit
Game closed. You see the drop in memory usage. GPU-Z and MSI-Afterburner still show 100% Taskmgr 0% Wich tool lie?

Then Try Process Explorer to check wich task use GPU, Nope. None.
So i got GPU-T + MSI Afterburner who said there is still a GPU load after the game is quit and the Win10 Task manager + Process explorer who said its not.

It seems only i reboot fixes the GPU.

Any guess what is wrong? Does something realy still consume GPU Or is there just a flaw in the tools? Wich tool to trust?

Driver is 18.2.3 now, no fix. the screens are made with .1

RX 580 @ Adrenaline 18.2.3
4790k @ Asus Maximus VII

Thank you.

does this happen on that single game specifically or does it occur with other gpu load intensive applications?

only in this game for now.
I tryed Witcher 3 dishonored 2 and some benches but no fault.

I wouldn't put too much stock into what task manager says.

Clean removal of gpu drivers & reinstall

Try a A/V scan , also sfc/scannow

if its one game only, and not replicated in other situations, my inclination is that its the one game/software that the problem occurs during use of, and not the PC, or its OS, etc.

@jboydgolfer
i guess too and opened a Support ticket for Elite.
Just wondering why different tools shot different results

thank you so far
