RX580 gpu usage is always low

Hello guys, I need some help


PC spec: i3-8100, Cooler Master 500w, 8gb ram and recently just installed a new GPU, MSI ARMOR RX580 OC 8gb.


The problem Im facing now is my GPU usage is really bad.. It keeps spiking like crazy, most of the time its at 0% or 1% which cause very bad perfomance! and then it goes to 100% for like 2 seconds then drops back to 0%/1%.


I tried different games, R6 siege, PUBG, BF1. Temp seems ok I think, its around 58-60 degree celcius.

  • Describe your issue:

- When I play game, my GPU usage is always at 0%/1%, then after like few seconds it goes up to 100% for like a second or two then goes back down to 0%/1%! Makes all of my games unplayable. This never happened before, I used to use GTX 1050 TI and never had this issue.

Let's start here.

Do you have both power plugs on the GPU connected?

Did you use DDU to clean out those nasty old NVidia drivers? An essential step.

If you didn't, then do it and reinstall your AMD driver when done.
