GPU High Usage, Very Low Performance

[Curesto]

Hi, i have Sapphire R9 280X Tri-X OC 3GB GDDR5 384-Bit. It recently performing bad for some reason. I've tried 5-6 different drivers but can't fixed this problem. First of all, i've been getting 60 FPS on V-Sync on GTA V(Very High, AF X16, RMSAA X8, FXAA ON, MSAA OFF, 1280X1024) at %40-50 GPU usage.

 

Now it's dumped down to 25 FPS avarage at %90-100 GPU usage for some reason. I've been also getting much lower performance on every other game i've been playing.

 

GPU is running perfectly, there's no artifacts, crashers or something like that.

 

GPU can't even perform like GTX 750 at this moment.

 

I think it started to happen after an mutliple WattMan errors i've got about 5-6 days ago.

 

Even on Terraria, FPS drops to 40-30 FPS and GPU usage so high on this Game. Even my old HD 3650 was getting 60 FPS on this game.

 

GPU Drivers i've tried to hoping to fix this issue: Adrenalin 2020 21.1.1, Adrenalin 2020 20.9.2, Adrenalin 2020 20.4.2 and Adrenalin 2019 19.12.1

 

Specs:

CPU: Intel Xeon X5450 3.00 GHz

MB: Asus ROG Commando

GPU: Sapphire R9 280X Tri-X OC 3GB GDDR5 384-Bit 

RAM: Kingston 6GB DDR2 800 MHz CL6 2X 2GB 2X 1GB 

HDD: Samsung HD155UI 1.5 TB 5400 RPM

PSU: Gigabyte P650B 650W 80+ Bronze

OS: Windows 10 Pro 20H2 64-Bit

 

I need serious help, i can't even play games anymore.

 

I've searched the web and couldn't find anything like this.

 

What should i do? What causing this? Are you witnessed something like this before? Thanks in advance. 

 

GPU Runs at it's maximum speed even at destkop.

* Cancel all overclocking, see if its better

* Clean all the PC internals

* Re-paste CPU and GPU

I've re-pasted CPU about 1 months ago. I've never done GPU re-pasting before. GPU running at it's stock, i think.

I guess its time to do the GPU now.

I'm afraid to damage GPU.

Did you use DDU to remove your graphic driver before reinstalling it?

[SkilledRebuilds]

^ I'd be using DDU first and then proceding to troubleshoot from there after a clean driver set.

Can you download Unigine Heaven and run the ExtremeHD preset benchmark? Post screenshot of the result.

I'd add 3DMark Time Spy too, run some benchmarks and look at the score and monitoring info in the result page

Why are you using such a high AA setting in the game? Have you always used that high of an AA setting?
