Some games allocate your entire VRAM and hog it until it releases it as cache. In this case, it doesn't matter until your hot part runs out. (example: Call of Duty games)
#Is using all of your VRAM/GPU Good when playing a game?

Some games do indeed use the entire VRAM and start to run into problems if the allocation goes too close to the actual capacity limit. (example: many UE4 games)
Some games silently drop texture resolution if it can't fit
as for GPU usage, 95%+ usage is expected if you run uncapped frame rates and the CPU is able to keep up. Any % usage is fine

Ye but am using it for terraria
and its using all 7.00GHZ
On every single game
that i play
any way to fix that?

Unit mixup?
Remember, video card memory reporting running at 7GHz (7000 MHz) / 14 GT/s (14000 MT/s) is normal

Unit mixup?
Probably
But it's definitely bad for my gpu if it keeps using it all for low needing games
So I just wanne fix it

A low requirement game with vsync off will still need as much power as it wants anyway

What performance mode did you set for your GPU in the NVIDIA Control Panel?
Balanced
Not even overclocking
It just takes whatever it wants
Which is maximum

Hmm.
In the affected game(s), bring up the Afterburner performance overlay, or GeForce Experience, is advanced performance overlay. Show me the numbers they say.

aight
ima use the one built in to the system
when am not playing anything
its rlly low
but when
lemme show ya
when playing smt
its terraria in this case
which is by no means a heavy game

As I've said, a non-heavy game running at uncapped frame rates becomes a heavy game. What is your current FPS?
