Please check with something like gpu-z. Task manager is inaccurate in reporting gpu load as it scales with gpu clocks (low clock speed = "higher" load).
Alternatively load an intensive game or something to make the gpu boost and then see what the percentage for amnezia is.

Another thing to check is if gpu 1 is your dedicated or integrated gpu as the lower power gpu will appear as if its being utilised more

It looks like GUI mines some coins.
Now prove us that it's not like that.
