Wierd gpu activity at game menu screens

I dont know why but my GPU is working hard at the game menu screen,fans come on at full rpm,this is from my steam account.

If anyone has these games i would be greatfull if you could also measure your gpu load just so i know its normal or is there is something fishy going on

could be because the frame rate isnt capped on the menu screen

Indeed, you'll find that occasionally menu screens will hammer your card, it is not normal but it does happen.
Usually the game devs will realise and release a patch that locks the menu to 30 or 60 fps.

msi afterburner and cap to 60 is the fix

I had this on the original dead space. Getting like 2000fps. Thought my card was going to explode. Forced v sync to cure
