Uses 90-100% of GPU when JUST EDITING

[jroelof]

I don't understand. I'm editing a video with two clips in picture (picture in picture). They are 20 minute clips. So there is a total of 40 minutes 1080p clip in my timeline. they are mp4 files. I use to do this exact edit on this same computer with absolutely no problem with playback on adobe premiere elements. I was excited to finally upgrade and now it's worse. My video won't playback when I'm editing. It's just frozen in playback, even if I reduce the playback quality to 1/4...I still get 90-100% GPU usage when editing? Is it not utilizing my gtx 1060? Even if I play a game like PUBG on max settings I get better performance.

What's taking up all my GPU? How do I lower it?

My specs:

windows 10

i7 7700

gtx 1060 3gb

120 gb ssd

1tb hd

adata ddr4 2400 20z 2x8gb

What do you have for memory under preferences?  I've experienced no delay with 1080p on my 8-core Mac Pro. These are my memory settings:
