Only running WU's on my RTX 3060 Nvidia GPU, but the utilization is often not at or close to 100%, being all over the place, over 90%, then 70 or 60, or even down to 20's or 30's sometimes.

Can this be improved?

Yes, you need to run more than 1 GPU task at the same time. See this thread for how to set the app_config.xml file:
