GPU Low Usage (20-30%)

Hi, I have a very annoying problem, and that is my gpu. I have a good system but my gpu usage in games is only about 30% and I get low fps when my system could have exponentially more fps with a +80% usage. I searched the whole internet and tried a lot of things, but nothing has worked, and I don't know if it's a hardware issue rather than simply bad configuration. Please help me, thank you!

My system:
Intel Core i7-6700, 3.4GHz
8GB RAM, 2133Mhz x 1
1TB HDD Toshiba
ASRock H170M Pro4 Motherboard
480w DeepCool Power Supply
GTX 1060 3GB, Asus Dual

60hz monitor
 
The whole computer was bought new 4 months ago,I am not playing with v-sync, I don't have 100% cpu usage, I am playing csgo, rs6, jc3, ring of elysium, my monitor is 1680x1050, csgo 200fps average with 30% gpu usage, cpu usage I am not sure, I think around 60%, Ram I really do not know, but vram is enough, I am not playing full ultra settings
 
AMB73, I could get 350-500 frames constantly, but this way with 30% usage it's between 180-300fps, so yes it is low fps for my pc's capability.
Armageus, csgo can run on a potato but in ring of elysium, pubg(same requirements) I have 45fps with max settings so I have to put them to low to get 70fps, and my gpu usage is 30%. I could get 100+ with a 90% usage, that's the problem. What if I buy a 144hz monitor, do I stay with 30% usage and 70 fps, when I could do 120+???
Of course I didn't cap it at 200 fps, it's fps_max 0, I am not retarded I said I tried everything I found, ingame settings are basic that's not my problem.
I also get a lot of instability, like drops in demanding games, and the gpu usage is not constant, it lingers around 30% up and down
If you have other questions ask me and I will answer!
 
If it helps, benchmarked it with msi kombustor, stress test on my native rez, fullscreen and I had a constant 97-98% load on the gpu with max 65-70 temperature. The cpu was at 50-52 temperature and and average of 40% usage. My gpu was doing good, it had 97-98% usage, wich I would like to have constantly in games, but it goes up to 30%, in some games, that are very demanding it can also go up to 70-80% with, but drops..
Any opinions??
 
Look at this video, he has a gtx 1060, and gets constantly 99% usage with no drops, that's what I would like, to have it always on 99 in games, even if it's not a demanding game, and I don't know what to do to configure it that way, to use it's full potential in every game..
