Between the lines is my gpu usage when the game is paused. Why is it doing this?

Bro wtf it does mine almost gains 10% I got from 45% to 55%

I think it also might use a VERY small amount of cpu like 1-2%

Right? Shouldn't it drop? or even go to near nothing??? if it was just saving id expect a spike then a drop but no.

the pause screen is semi transparent, so it's likely still rendering everything it was before with added post-processing on top

I guess the reason is: You can still build when paused.
Meaning: The simulation of shapes is stopped (CPU thing), but rendering is not.

If your machine has a rather low power limit, maybe when you pause and cpu power goes down, it just allows your GPU to go up, so it does
