New Radeon RX 580 at 100% in game

[Iceni]

Hello,

 

I've just got a Radeon RX 580 to replace a broken card. I used MSI Afterburner to check it was working properly and that I'd installed it correctly. I noticed that it's at 100% when in game (except in menus) Is this normal? The temperature seems fine, at least in the short stretches of time I've tested it (about 60-70 C). I've tested it briefly in "Red Faction Guerrilla" and "Shadow warrior 2"

 

My PC specs are:

Radeon RX 580

i5-4690 3.5Ghz

Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard

8Gb RAM

Windows 10

 

any help is appreciated

It seems like it's actually utilizing your GPU and that your CPU doesn't appear to be holding you back.

As far as I can tell (especially from Shadow Warrior 2), yes.

Yes. 100% utilization of a GPU is actually really good, the RX 580 is no slouch and your CPU has more than enough to give, so it's all good.

If GPU is hitting 100% in games and reaching those temperatures then it's operating normally. 100% utilization means it's being used properly.

 

Now you can be happy knowing your CPU is good enough not to bottleneck the games you play.

If your goal is to have as high as a graphical performance as possible, 100% GPU utilization is where you want it to be.
