This PC has been reformatted before and has the Crimson 16.8.2 driver installed.
It's not a CPU/RAM/Etc issue, it's solely with this GPU that this seem to happen.
Also Wattman seems to crash a lot!
I have a ASUS Strix R7 370 2GB and it did not do this ever, even with the latest drivers.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I experience the high load on desktop as well. I spoke to AMDmatt who said it is a bug that they are actively working on. If you use GPU-z you can see if your 480 goes 100% load on the desktop doing nothing. I've found that putting your computer to sleep and waking it up will trigger the issue. All that information has been turned over to AMDMatt so rest assured, they are working on it.
