GPU usage at high load

Question

HI!
Is it normal for the GPU to be at high load when working with Premiere Pro? I understand the app uses GPU but even when idle, not doing anything, it won't drop. Premiere just constantly using GPU.
I uses OpenHWMonitor to see CPU and GPU usages. CPU has varying clock usage, depending what I'm doing in Premiere. But it's at stable 888MHz for my GTX 780 and 1114MHz with GTX 970. Those GPUs' core clocks are constant, no deltas, just fixed values at that speed. It got to a chassis temperature like when I'm playing heavy games. Has anyone checked? Is this normal?

Hello, I subscribed because I also want to share this too.
Yes high gpu load, no rest. Not max load but 3/4 load (idle too), max load only when render effects.
I also use Edius and usage is better because gpu rests when doing nothing unlike Premiere. Even games at loading screen or map or static the gpu have min load. No problem working with Premiere with this condition but bad for gpu life and other components long term.
In one hour use i measure gpu temp, premiere 70c and edius 50c. When render for 10min, premiere 75c edius 73c. The same for render but for working Premiere is bad, if you put electrical component at high temp all the time it will degrades.
Can you measure gpu vrm? I read vrm have even higher temp.
