I'm pretty sure you can use external tools like MSI Afterburner to limit your GPU usage if you want to, I don't see how the GPU being 100% used is an issue.

This issue has been open for about 3 months now, I still fail to see how it's an app bug (it's not a bug to have your GPU usage go to 100%) and I also think it doesn't make much sense as a feature request (I haven't seen any emulator have sliders for GPU usage, I don't even know how someone would implement that, and like I said you can probably use external apps to cap your GPU power draw). It should be closed in my opinion.

GPU use is not something we can feasibly control on our end.
