Low GPU usage in always mine mode

I was wondering if it is normal that my asus strix gtx 1080 never exceeds 15% load when im mining?
are there any configurations outside of the client i need to do?
up to date drivers, OS, BIOS, client

    I, if you have less than 90% of load when you're (theoretically) mining, it's because ,due to some bug or (mostly) connection error, you do not mine. Try to update your drivers, and check if your anti-malware/firewall block the traffic.

    i am running a pihole at home, that might be it. Thanks

    I'm experiencing a similar problem:
    I have a GTX 1080TI and the usage barely exceeds 40%.
    The amount of Iron increases and doesn't reset, so I assume that mining is actually taking place.
    Does anyone have any ideas, as to what might be the reason for this?

    Having the same issue with a Radeon RX 5700 XT i have whitelisted the folders and windows firewall does not seem to be blocking anything and i cant get my gpu over 15% while my wifes rig is chugging away on a R580. I also reinstalled drives and client.

    Check GPU memory usage, if it's go up when you switch to "mine always" mode then everything is all right.
    Just limitations of current mining algorhythm I suppose.

    So here is an interesting thing - on Spectrum home internet it does this but if I use hotspot or a VPN, it jumps GPU usage to 100%

    Task Manager (mostly) doesn´t report the GPU module that´s mining. If you want to see the real usage set it to compute 1.
    (Edit: I think the usage can be reported wrong just look at the temps or hear if the fans get loud)
