MacBook Pro (16 Inch, 2019) – GPU Memory Continuously at 90% Utilization

Is it normal for the GPU to run continuously at 90 to 100% continuously in a 2019 MacBook Pro?


Screenshots with chart and Machine specs included.


Thanks,

Check the GPU tab in Activity Monitor for apps using the GPU. You'll likely see only the GPUs. Extend the list using the tiny arrow on the AMD GPU and you should see the application using ~90% of your GPU. If you don't see any app using that much, extend the list for you integrated Intel GPU.
