Hello guys, I bought used RX 580 8GB. It has papers and warranty etc. First when I installed it in system it worked but when I run game some white led started flashing on gpu and fans started spin very fast. After reboot I tried running game again and same thing happened. I installed new drivers and that was gone. Today I turned on my PC and I entered task manager and I see that my GPU utilization is 85%. I thought that might be because of Wallpaper Engine and I turned it off but still it is 85 %. When I turned Wallpaper Engine back on utilization dropped to 75 but again went to 85%. I checked task manager and it said Video Encoding is on 85 %. I restarted my PC and went into task manager again and GPU utilization was 85% but encoding, decoding, copy and 3D were 0-1%. After some time Encoding went to 85% again. PC specs: i7 3770, 12GB ram, RX 580 8gb, Seasonic S12III 550w.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Wallpaper enginge can really stress your GPU if you have the right background. I also managed to max out my 1080ti with a animated wallpaper. Task Manager only reports the highest utilization number, in this case the video decoder. That doesn't mean, your GPU is 85% utilized, only the video decoing part. The important thing for games is the 3D graph in task manager.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

I turned off wallpaper engine but it still and always shows 85 % encode... (https://prnt.sc/tugtl5), could it be some mining malware? Also as I said memory clock is capped at 2000 all the time..

Go through all the running processes in task manager and see if you find anything you don't know. Also not just install newer drivers, i'd recommend to try running DDU in safe mode and istalling ONLY the newest drivers. Not the new ones on top of the old ones.

I found the "issue"... I went into amd settings and found out that my instant replay setting was turned on and after I turned it off encoding went to normal. Im sorry that I wasted Your time. Thank you.
