High GPU while recording desktop but not on games?

I've been noticing something really weird, i tend to record my display instead of a specific proccess, and when doing so, the 3D usage of the GPU stays at 21% and Video encoder at 60%.

But then, when playing games, the video encoder goes wayy down and the 3D usage understandably goes up (elden ring in this case), but it doesnt go up to a significant amount when compared to the almost "idle" state of recording the desktop.

But then, with OBS disabled i get essentially the same 3D usage from elden ring, in the same area

And then finally, on desktop, without OBS replay buffer i get no usage on the GPU at all

.


Is this all common or there might be something wrong? Should i be looking out for something?
