Additional Data Needed Regarding GPU Utilization Issues

[Elamys]

I was noticing odd graphical issues since the patch (objects flickering in and out of existence or being really late to load, as if I had a super low draw distance), but I don't really pay attention to my temps or usage or anything. Though I noticed this thread, decided to check my GPU usage, and wow! Same issue. Hovering between 90% to 100% usage. I have no idea what my usage was at prior to this admittedly but this doesn't seem normal.

1) What Graphics Card are you using?
Nvidia GTX 750 Ti

2) What is the resolution, graphical setting, and frame rate you are getting (both pre and post patch)?
Resolution 1920x1080, Windowed, Custom w/ fairly high settings
After the patch I switched the settings to Standard (Desktop) to try and alleviate the issues.

3) Some of you have reported major dips in frame rate, does your GPU utilization reach 100% at this time?
I am not noticing any major dips in frame rate. Usually around 45 FPS.

4) Does this happen constantly or is it restricted to only a few areas?
Appears to happen anywhere, at any time.

5) Is this accompanied by any graphical glitches?
Yes - textures tearing/flickering, objects disappearing, objects, mobs, and even buildings very late to load until I'm basically right on top of them.

6) Please list everything you have tried to alleviate the issue.
Restart game/computer, update drivers, reinstall drivers, lower graphics settings (raised my FPS significantly but still having graphical glitches and extremely high GPU usage)
