GPU not working correctly

Acheron99 · February 24, 2020

I have recently built my new system AMD 5700 XT, Ryzen 7 2700x, 16Gb Gskill Ripjaw. I am having an issue where my GPU will not recognize a game for instance Escape From Tarkov or even minecraft at one point.

When fullscreen at 1080p I get extremely low fps, like -30. I can see from my radeon software that my gpu is not being utilized at all, that is until I either alt-tab or go to a windowed view of my game and then it ramps up like its supposed to. but when I change back it drops down and acts like there is no game running. I have tried removing and reinstalling drivers, have the latest AMD patch and can still replicate this at any time. Is there anything else I can try? I spent 4 months saving and buying this pc, I can't just swap to another gpu.

AMD drivers just suck....

Try DDU? Kill drivers and start over. Is there possibly a new BIOS for the GPU (I don’t really pay much attention to AMD these days, but with their weird new BIOS stuff going on, I’d look into that). But start with DDU (display driver uninstaller).
