Hello i recently purchased a new Vega 64 reference from sapphire. I havent had any issues with the card for about a week until this morning when it suddenly crashed and now after a restart the idle utilization is ranging from 5% all the way up to 40%. Coming from an HD 7870 so im not sure if this is normal behavior or maybe something is wrong.

My system specs:

Ryzen 5 2600

MSI B450 tomahawk MOBO

EVGA 600W PSU 

16 GB RAM

Windows 10 pro

Just check if there is anything using the gpu in the background. I wouldn’t worry about that too much until it becomes a problem. Did you noticed any drops in fps when playing games??

no there wasnt any frame drops, I checked the background processes and the only thing that was running was my web browser.

If you have hardware acceleration enabled on your browser, it can and will cause those jumps periodically due to it needing to maintain a render of the pages you have open. It's highly recommended to turn off hardware acceleration if leaving a browser open in the background while gaming. (it can destabilize the game, the browser, and your system, no matter the system specs)

i havent had any issues since doing what you suggested, im guessing the crash i had earlier wasnt related to utilization. Thanks again for your suggestions.
