it s quite normal . in general computing , the main thread waits for the child threads to finish their work . So we cant have 100% utilization in multithreading

Thanks fellow

97% - 98% is essentially fully loaded. That is normal.

Install PresentMon and configure the overlay if you want to see your frametime and gpu_busy graphs to help tune games / your system in cases where your GPU is sitting idle a large amount of the time. In those cases it indicates the application/game is CPU bound; as such you could increase GPU dependent graphics settings to increase quality without loosing performance. If you are seeing the other way around and your CPU is idle a lot of the time but your GPU is heavily loaded then you'd be able to scale back/down those GPU dependent graphics settings to improve performance (if that is what you are after over quality).

EDIT: In a well balanced system you want to see your frame time graph (blue line as default) and your gpu_busy graph (yellow line as default) as close as possible.

This means your GPU is busy doing work and finishing just in time to be asked to do more work on the next frame.

If your gpu_busy graph is below your frame time graph then that is telling you that your GPU is completing it's work before the next frame and is sitting idle for some period before being asked to work on the next frame.

If your gpu_busy graph is above your frame time it means your GPU is busy the whole time and not able to complete a full frame before being asked to work on the next frame. This is where you'll see stutter and uneven frame pacing start to occur.

If the graphics card is working, I wouldn't bother with such details. I just wanted to find out if it was a defect.

Sure, I'm just giving you some details because different games/applications will use your systems resources differently.

For example games that have heavier simulations will be more CPU dependent for the simulations and for such titles you can often tune their settings to improve visual quality without an impact on performance.

If you don't care about that; it's fine just don't be surprised in such titles that your GPU might be sitting idle for a lot of time (as in your GPU utilization might be 40% in some titles like this).

Thank you, can I ask a question in a slightly different way regarding the operation of the graphics card?

What is the chance of damaging a part of the board with circuits and "teeth" of the video card from touching a plastic bag during its load?

I'm not sure what you mean.

While I was working at my PC, the side cover of the case was open, and it so happened that the child, without noticing it, he touched a plastic bag (1 photo) to the textolite with microcircuits (2 photos) of the Asus 3060 rtx 12 gb oc video card. At that time, the computer was running under load. Nothing short-circuited, no blue screen appeared, and so on... Please tell me, did it damage the graphics card board, its chips and components shown in (2 photos)? I do not know what kind of material the bag was made of, most likely it was polyethylene, there were wooden sticks inside, but it was definitely completely dry.

Plastic isnt electrically conductive

Even when the graphics card was loaded, it didn't matter?

99.99% sure

Thanks. So God is taking care of me

I'm still not completely sure what you're referring to as textolite or teeth. (assuming english may not be your first language and something may be lost in translation).

If you are meaning your child touched the resistors and/or other SMDs (surface mounted devices) on the graphics cards PCB (where you are showing in the second picture) with the chopsticks in that plastic wrapper; then you should be fine if it's still working currently without issue.

The biggest potential issue from that would have been them possibly knocking loose one of the SMDs. But the area you show in the second picture all of the SMDs look fine.

Some plastics can build up static on them; however, both the wood chopsticks and the typical plastic wrapper for them are non-conductive and it is very unlikely that type of plastic would hold a static charge.
