    First noticed this this afternoon, minimized game for whatever reason and noticed my gpu fan kicking into life loaded up gpuz and my GPU goes to 98-100% load whenever this game is minimized.
    I tried it with dirt rally and it is fine, high usage in game but minimized no usage at all, they are total opposites when you look at the graph.

    I tried attaching a screen shot of gpuz capture but wont allow me.

    Any ideas?

    snap on the GPU
    I havnt played pCars since i got this, dont remember it doing it myself, will have a go in a little while.
    All the same something cant be right for it too happen.



    *edit
    I have to Ctrl alt del to minimize that game but it goes to 0% gpu usage.
