GPU 1 - 100% and GPU 2 - 0%

[LukeMichael27]

Build

Motherboard - Asrock a320 HDV

processor - AMD Athlon 3000g

graphics processor - MSI RX570 Gaming X 4gb

ram - 8gb Kingston hyperX

ssd - Kingston 250gb M.2 ssd

hdd - seagate barracuda 1tb

 

I’ve build this super low budget system recently and sometime get low frame rates. Ever since I’ve installed my graphics card I’ve noticed that the Rx570 seems to be at 100% while the athlon’s gpu is at 0. 

 

I know that AMD crossfire allows gpus to work together. But is this the same here with the Athlon with its discrete gpu? Do I have to enable it somehow or I can only use my RX 570?

You can't crossfire the athlons gpu and the rx570.

Is your monitor plugged into your videocard or motherboard?

You can't Crossfire between the Ahtlon and RX videocard, that was only a thing a couple years ago.

 

Everything should run on your RX 570 and it should run quite a lot better than it used to on your 3000G

Okay I get it. The monitor is plugged in to my video card. Yes it’s a lot better now. But I wish I had a little more frames for some games. Thanks a lot. Now I can quit trying new stuff.
