Hi, I bought the Sapphire Nitro+ RX470 4GB and whenever I install Radeon 16.9.2 or above, suddenly my GPU does 100% usage and I need to downgrade to 16.9.1... Can anybody please help?

If you're certain there's no other program that's running that is eating the GPU and  restarting the computer after installing drivers didn't help, just keep the old version. There's no dire need to be up to date with graphics card drivers unless the current ones you're running are ancient.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

I'm sure. I guess you're right, but I wonder if anybody else has the same problem... It's surely a problem with the drivers, I ran scans with ESET and no viruses nor do I have a full hard drive or anything...

AMD's drivers are not the best, I had a similar issue with my 460 and they released a new driver version that fixed it.  No guarantees but this might be a waiting game

Ok, even the 16.10.3 driver did not fix it... I'm starting to doubt AMD will fix my issue...
