help i randomly get Directx error crash.

GPU is supposed to be running that high. Mine is sitting at 95% atm and it's perfectly fine. You should try playing another game or run a benchmark and see what is happening.

Odds are your GPU might be cooked if you also get artifacts. Generally, that is a sign the GPU is dying.

my GPU is about 8 months old, some say they run their game with high (desktop) graphics and only get half the GPU % than i do.

To be fair, that is irrelevant as it can be faulty. Unless you stress test it and see how it performs in other games, the fact that it's just 8 m.o. only means that you are still under warranty. Others have suggested this as well, but seeing how it performs under stress + the temps that it reads during test it can be a much more accurate evaluation.

If stress testing + temp reading are normal, you could DL different driver versions. I had to do a driver rollback for Patch 4 of BG3 because the game had some really weird delays and rendering issues.
