Low GPU usage

Hello guys, I am rendering a very large file size animation, about 20,000 x 1280.

I noticed the GPU usage at about 8%. is that normal?
I am using X particles and direct light.

Also if you have any suggestions to speed up rendering, it's taking about 16 minutes per frame.

I would really appreciate your advise!!!

Thank you very much in advance!

Please, download and run GPU-Z:

You should need to check the GPU-Z Sensors tab while rendering, and in particular, Temperature, GPU Load and Power Consumption TDP.
By default, Windows Task manager shows OpenGL usage, not CUDA usage.

ciao,
Beppe
