  1. Update: I think I figured it out! I went ahead and installed the latest recommended drivers from AMD's website and the card immediately started running so much better, temps were what I would expect, power usage was low at idle, everything is just fine now!
  2. Hey there, first time posting on the forum to ask for a bit of help. I recently peeked into MSI Afterburner this afternoon because I was worried about my AMD RX 480 Temperatures. I had been taming the beast alright for some time now (After putting new thermal paste on the darn thing), and I noticed that despite the newer (and probably higher quality) paste, it was still reaching super high temperatures. So, I looked through the stats to see if something was higher than it should be, and oh boy there was something wrong. My "GPU1 Power, %" (I have 2 cards in my system) had been sitting in the 80-90 THOUSAND range. (Not even kidding, I have the screenshot of msi attached.) Before now, I had been under clocking the ever living stuffing out of this thing just so it's temperatures wouldn't kill it, and yet it still is pinned to 90 degrees. As for a bit of information as to what I have been doing with the card, ever since I got my new Graphics Card (A GTX 1660 to be precise), I had been using this card purely for mining Ethereum. (Not efficient at all, I know.) And as such, had installed the experimental "Compute Only" Drivers AMD had (turns out it still allows the card to behave like a gaming card.) For now, I'm going to put a pause on the ether mining until I can get this poor thing under control. Hopefully this can be resolved soon as this is currently my primary way to make money (I'm a high school student, what do you want?)
  3. I just fixed my issue, and this might help you. If you have the Discord Overlay active while you play wow, try disabling it, it might fix your issue
  4. More problems, yay! Last time it was my GPUs, now it's my games... I just want this to end Anyway, my problem this time is that in the last couple days my World of Warcraft has gone from running seamlessly with no issues, to the game freezing whenever I move my cursor. Note: Moving the Camera and turning my character with the mouse is fine, but whenever the cursor is on-screen it makes the game freak the fluff out. PC Specs (If this helps): CPU: I7-7700K (Overclocked to 4.8 Ghz) GPUs: Amd RX 480, Nvidia GTX 1050 ti OC edition (I just had a problem that was resolved with these last night, so I doubt it's the cards. However, I have also been getting a "World of Warcraft cannot start up 3D acceleration whenever I try to chose a card.) Storage: 128 GB SSD, 1TB WD Blue, 4TB WD Blue Other Notes: This is a Lenovo pre-built, specifically the y900, which is no longer available on their site.
  5. I just finished doing what you said in this post and it WORKED!!! However, I will need to add something to the steps of doing this: I personally had to remove both sets of drivers for the graphics cards and restart my system, after that I installed an older stable driver for my rx 480, and my games are working fine now. Thank you guys for your help!
  6. I haven't done anything with the nvidia card since I put it in other than changing refresh rate settings so that it could run my monitor properly
  7. I had done some benchmarking with these cards separately before trying to overclock, the whole reason I was trying to overclock by rx 480 is because it was under preforming
  8. I recently tried overclocking my graphics card, which is an AMD RX 480, but later decided that I wanted to stick to stock speeds. I later found out that something I had done had been causing some issues. I now have stuttering whenever I do any mouse input in any game, be it MMO, FPS, anything. When I sit still, my FPS is fine, but whenever I move my mouse at all, I get freeze spikes to the point where the game is unplayable. What would I be able to do to reverse these issues? Computer specs: CPU: Intel i7-7700K, overclocked to 4.8 GHZ Motherboard: No idea it came with the computer, it's a Lenovo y900 computer if that helps Graphics Cards: Nvidia GTX 1050 TI OC edition from Zotac, AMD RX 480 note: I got these graphics cards working together for a few months now, and these issues are popping up after I tried overclocking the AMD card, so it shouldn't be an issue from the Nvidia card. Storage: 1 128 GB SSD, 1 1TB WD Blue, 1 4TB WD Blue Monitors: Asus VG248 1080p monitor, acer X203w, 1680x1050 resolution
