Symptoms

The game has low GPU usage when you are in game however in the menus the GPU usage spikes up normally. To test this I uncapped the frame rate and on both the main menu and when you pause the game the GPU can hit 100% load and is not being limited by the CPU. However once the menus go away and you are just in game GPU load drops dramatically and I have seen as low as 37% usage. Forcing SSAA increases GPU load but does not affect the frame rate at all. For example in one area I could be getting 46 FPS at 56% load, I enable SSAA and load jumps to 87% but the FPS remains the same.

Reproduction

Being in game and out of a menu reduces GPU load.

Below are some screenshots I took to showcase the increase/decrease in GPU load
