gpu load and stability is going crazy

[Mythical2]

hey, ive just bought a new pc with a rx 5700xt nitro. i tried to benchmark some games like rust, pubg and overwatch but it seemed a bit weird. i glitched back a few times and such and when i ran rust sometimes the game crashed and sometimes midgame it just restarted my pc. also im getting quite high temps sometimes.

overall gpu is super unstable and the gpu clocks, load and stability is really weird. any help? thanks :)

What's the rest of the system specs? Could be the PSU is too weak to power the GPU. Do you have the latest drivers and Windows updates installed?

Maybe try the gpu in another rig and see if it works. There is also this bug/glitch where ryzen3rd gen and rx 5700 (xt) are in one build, that they can have some compatibility isues. It's a really weird thing.

Yeah just try the 960, I had the same issue but after I put an 1060 in it resolved itself
