PC Drivers & Software

[samruffo96]

Hi everyone.

After upgrading my drivers to the latest version (Adrenalin 17.12.2), I found this annoying problem.

After you've seen any video on youtube, the GPU frequency remains blocked, in my case at 1430MHz, without going back to idle at 300MHz until I restart the system.

The strange thing is that this problem practically occurs only when watching videos with the browser and NOT after game sessions, for example.

With the previous drivers (Crimson ReLive 17.11.4) I'm 100% sure that this didn't happen, in fact returning to the previous version of the drivers the problem disappears.

I upgraded the drivers with DDU, so with a clean installation.

I haven't overclocked the gpu, I just used MSI Afterbunrner to manually manage fans.

Has anybody found my own problem? Or has understand the cause and found a solution?

- System INFO :

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

Readon Rx 580 8gb (Sapphire Nitro+ Spec. Edition)

Readon Software Adrenalin (17.12.2)

Firefox 57.0.3 (64 bit)

i3-6100 , 8gb DDR3, Asus B150 Pro Gaming D3

For many parts I used the translator so I apologize in advance for any errors.

Thank you.

Supposingly this was fixed in an earlier Driver update. Relive was the cause for the GPU running at max all the time. Someone earlier mentioned about disabling the file that runs Relive and it solve the problem. I would open an AMD REPORT ISSUE to let AMD the problem isn't solved totally.

Hi, what you mean exactly for 'file that runs Relive'?

Re: GPU Usage stays at 100% with driver 17.12.1 & 17.12.2

Finaly! Thx a lot!  I thougt i am the only one!

At HWMonitor, i have, from time to time, 100% and max GPU-Clock. After a few tests i did find the Problem:                               

Firefox + Youtube (Only Fullscreen) + ReLife-Host/Desktop task.

I did not have ReLive installed, but i have 17.12.2.

After killing the ReLive task... 0% GPU use.

How can i turn ReLive off ?

I did rename the .exe ... but its just a workaround ?! (amddvr.exe  + amdow.exe)

or the only way?

Win10 64Bit

Firefox 57.0.2

XFX 580 D: 17.12.2

I really hope that AMD will solve this problem quickly...

Have you tried turning off 'hardware acceleration' in firefox, see if that changes the behavior ?

Same issue with my ASUS Strix RX480 - core goes to max clock when watching YouTube in Firefox in fullscreen and with ReLive installed (doesn't matter if its enabled or not). It seems to be an issue with the VP9 codec YouTube uses. As a temporary workaround I suggest using the Firefox h264ify add-on, which forces YouTube to use that codec.

Radeon Software Adrenalin (17.12.2)

Firefox 57.0.4 (64 bit)

Win 10 64bit latest build.
