GPU Memory at 100%

Hi, I have an iMac 27 5K, 2019. The GPU is a Radeon Pro 580X with 8GB of GDDR5 memory. When I run iStatMenu I see, that the memory is almost at 100 % all the time, even when I am just using Safari, Outlook and Ulysses to write texts.

My question is: Is macOS not clearing the GPU memory or why is memory usage always so high?

That seems perfectly normal.

Unless you are seeing any graphics performance degradation, there is nothing to worry about.
