> Chrome profiler says the GPU is in use almost 100% of every frame. And nvtop says the GPU is 35% utilized by that (well isolated) chrome tab

Is that a problem? That the GPU is used for 100% of the frame generation is OK, is it not? And 35% utilization sounds maybe tad high for some simple web visualization, but for a full game, sounds normal.

Maybe I misunderstand what you see as the problem here?

Because it’s more like 1%. The CPU doesn’t even warm up like it does when playing Half Life 1 with VSYNC on. There’s some measurement error going on with what it considers utilized.
