I also have this same problem. I was playing one game and switched to another and suddenly i experienced terrible FPS drops down into the teens. At this point the VGA light came on on the motherboard. I reset the drivers, closed all programs, restarted the system, shutdown and rebooted the system and finally swapped to an older GPU i had laying around (HD 7870). The new gpu, after reinstalling the drivers, didnt have the FPS issues the RX 590 did and the VGA light went out on the motherboard, however, it has a hard time keeping up FPS wise and for whatever reason wouldnt allow me to have more than 2 monitors displaying at the same time (i have 3 24" dell monitors that run as one on eyefinity normally) So after about 3 days running that way i decided to try the 590 again and upon booting and logging into windows the VGA light didnt come on this time but in Warframe on the lowest res setting im averageing 20 fps +/- 8 and its nigh on unplayable. With just a live wallpaper on the desktop im showing 90-100% gpu utilization. Can anyone help? Did you find an answer for your issue?
