Low CPU and GPU usage along with lowc frame rates

[Srebrenko13]

Hi there! Few days ago I got my Sapphire RX 5700 XT Nitro+ SE GPU as an upgrade from my old R9 380, but for some reason my RX 5700 XT never exceeds 60% usage with really low core clocks, tried on many different games from League of Legends to GTA V and AC Odyssey same problem is present, both CPU and GPU aren't crossing 50-60% usage while games are stuttering a lot, even League that is supposed to run fine stutters at lowest settings. My pc consists of Ryzen 5 1500X (3.8 GHz  at 1.356 V) on Gigabyte AB350 Gaming-3 ATX Mobo with 16 GB 3000 MHz Dual Channel kit of Corsair Vegeance LPX kit, PSU is Corsair TX-650M PSU 2017 Edition (not sure about year), main drive is my WD Green 240 GB M.2 Sata III SSD. I have been looking around the web for the solution but nothing helped. Tried fresh install of windows many different versions of gpu drivers I would really like to fix it or otherwise I will be forced to return it and get nvidia counterpart which isn't even close to this card. Thanks to everyone in advance.

the gpu is probably not the cause. are you sure that your cpu gets only 50% usgae. i mean it has 4c/8t and AC odyssey uses  all of that meaning that your are cpu bottlenecked. which you likely are becuase ryzen 5 1500x isnt ideal for the 5700XT

What was the experience like on the 380?

 

The 1500x may not be strong enough, but I dont want to talk out of my ass if its not that if the gpu really isnt ramping up on clock speed.

 

Download msi afterburner and try to apply an overclock to the gpu

 

This might sound strange but increase your resolution to 4k, it will push more of the load to the gpu and less on the cpu as it will have to deliver less frames and obviously the gpu will have to work harder to render at 4k

I have already installed afterburner and hardware monitor to make sure, before with my R9 380 for example I never had any performance issues and card didn't even rump up the fans but with the RX 5700 XT I stutter every 10-15 seconds. Regarding some more demanding games I have tried playing GTA V at 1080p, 1440p and 4K with same graphical preset and got almost identical framerate even though 4K should be more gpu intensive but the problem is that with my R9 380 I was getting even higher framerates at full hd with lower settings so I think problem isn't in the CPU, also I have noticed one interesting thing regarding AC Odyssey and it's the fact that in menus and loading screens were only instances where GPU actually ran at 100% but as soon as for example benchmark started it dropped down do to around 50%.

I finally had time to get around MSI Afterburner and figured out way to record through it sorry for the bad quality video just wanted to show you how my system performs in GTA V where it literally runs CPU at 55-60% as I said while the GPU never ran at full speed and it almost never exceeded 120 W, it just stuck around 70W while I'm running my bios switch in the 220W position both first and 3rd position which is software controled. I have tried opening MSI Afterburner and increasing power target to max but noting really changed. I didn't know how to share the video since it's 500 mb big so I just uploaded it to my google drive and here is the link to it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/16SZ2_U3YVf3fnTwBxfxLzHSONTiddShB/view?usp=sharing
