GPU usage not being read correctly in some games.

Hello! 

I've been using HWiNFO for a while now, but I've never seen something like this. In a couple of games, like GTA V, the GPU usage for GTA V is not being read by HWiNFO. I noticed it when I started playing it again a couple of weeks ago. HWiNFO always has some graphs open on my secondary display, so when I saw that my GPU usage was only around 0% - 5%, I compared it to the GPU usage MSI Afterburner shows, and the usage was being read correct on there. I've made a screenshot of when I was playing earlier today, so you can see what I mean. I know there was another game that has the issue too but I forgot which one, it might have been a battle.net game. EDIT: It is Black Ops 4 where it's happening too.

Anyway, I haven't seen this before, and I tried using the beta and a previous version of HWiNFO but it happens in all of them. I also saw that the Windows Task Manager doesn't read any GPU usage for GTA V so it might be related to that? I've tried searching Google for results but the only stuff showing up is GTA V not using the GPU's full potential due to XMP profiles, I didn't find anything relating to my issue. Does anyone else have this issue. 

The GPU temperature and fan speeds are the same in both HWiNFO and Afterburner.

Thanks, have a great day!
