I have a RX Radeon 480, and I noticed Recently that the usage goes from 0 to 100 or from low numbers to high numbers, Idk the reason why. It happens with fortnite, cs go, but I haven’t texted on other games like gta five and stuff. I did the benchmark from msi afterburner, and gpu usage was at 100% which I heard that’s what you want to happened, I will answer any info you guys need, please help.

Well, have you tried a driver update and checked if the fans on the card are working properly?

If so, reseat the graphics card and see...

My old 480 did the same, one day updated the driver and usage is not flat on 100%. Do you notice any performance loss or stutter?

Yes, when I played fortnite my first my FPS used to be really high, I had it up to 200 FPS, and it was locked, now I have it on 120 and when I’m playing a match it goes down even to 80 and then comes back up, not even when I’m moving the camera. What did you do to fix it?

I checked the updates and my gpu is up to date, but I when I first made the built 3 days ago I used to have a different and program, that I never saw spikes. I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them, but I haven’t reseated the graphics card yet, how can I do it?

Go to your bios and check :)

it should say enable xmp or xmp profile 1 if you have it on

Gotcha, Thank you! I will do that when I get home. So if I have it on, should I turn it off? If it doesn’t change anything should I put it back to normal?

You should turn it on 

Now I don't know where it is exactly since I am not familiar with gigabyte uefi but it essentially runs your ram at it's advertised speeds

But, won't that affect only cpu performance? And watch a video online for the reseating or watch a Linus tech tips build guide

What do you mean ? 

Stutters are caused for bad 1% lows in games and with a ryzen cpu where multiple ccxs are a thing and latency is a critical thing running your ram at higher speeds will make everything smoother 

If it relates to the cpu it doesn't mean it will only improve cpu performance plus it doesn't hurt to get free performance lmao  😜

When I try to open bios in my keyboard I press delete multiple times but nothing happens, it goes straight up to windows, anything I could do?
