Hello everyone. Last Tuesday I launched BF4 and opened MSI Afterburner. Then GPU usage dropped about %10 and FPS was about 3! Then I closed Afterburner and FPS increased to 94. What's wrong with it? Some info:

 

Afterburner version: 3.01 Graphics driver: AMD Catalyst 14.4 Video card: Asus HD 7950 V2

If you're using beta drivers (I don't even know what the stable version # is anymore), roll back to stable.

 

Whenever I use MSI Afterburner, I get 3FPS more or less, depending on the game, and it says my GPU usage is always 0% or 100% (A6-3650). On my Dell it monitors CPU usage (Pentium 4 HT), RAM, VRAM, and page file usage, and it's always right on the money.
