Graphics Card Nerfed? Is this just me??

Hi, I have a question. I have a GTX 1060 6G (CUDA), and when I render with the GPU option, I go to the task manager in Windows and it only shows like it's using 2-15% (most of the time less than 5%) of the graphics card. Happening also in the benchmark. Is this normal?? My CPU is AMD Ryzen 2700 3.2Ghz. Version of blender 2.81a. Maybe there's some option I've missed? or I have to enable something to let the graphics card to go up to the max level?

Can somebody can help me?

This site is not for questions.

Task manager don't properly shows gpu usage for computation tasks eg. raytracing (or anything at all)

* @Aranzazu Hurtado Ruiz * Software like GPU-Z , MSI Afterburner etc. Eg. GPU-Z there is GPU Load field that is almost 100% during benchmark, where windows' task manager shows almost no load
