Different gpu utilization values between Task Manager, Adrenalin and MSI Afterburner
Hey Guys;
As the title suggests - I am seeing different gpu utilization values between Task Manager and Adrenalin and hoping someone has an explanation.
When I am browsing online or just writing this, Task Manager has a fairly constant 1-5% GPU utilization. But when I check Adrenalin it shows spikes every few seconds from 0-100% GPU utilization and seems to be a constant issue.
I have disabled everything I can think of that may drain GPU resources, scanned for virus, checked for updates, ran troubleshooter and searched online for a solution, all without success.
Has anyone else experienced something similar or have an explanation for this discrepency?
Many Thanks!

Could be as simple as sampling frequency
Example: Let's say for example that clock speed spikes once in five seconds, then let's say the software measures
Blue curve is frequency
Red lines are infrequent sampling - they miss all the peaks
Green line represents high sampling rate, which also notices high clocks
These can show very different results
Not sure this is the case, but could be

Pure speculation, but it sounds like a bug to me. I'd report it.
