GPU Usage fluctuating

[zZushidotomo]

Hi,
I recently downloaded PCSX2 just to play GOW, I realized that randomly my GPU usage goes from 0% to 99% in seconds. I've tried different settings in just about everything, the speed is showing as 100%, and the FPS 60 all the time but I get a lot of lagging in a crowded room or when I'm in a fight. I really want to play GOW and I believe this might be a setting issue. Any help will do it.

CPU I3 8100
GPU RX 460 2GB
8 GB RAM

Please post the contents of the emulog.txt file after the problem occurs. The file can be found in "My Documents\PCSX2\logs" for the installer version or in "PCSX2\logs" for the portable/binary version.

Please make sure to enclose your emulog in code tags like so (remove the empty space on the closing code tag!):
