GPU Utilization Thottleing

[AMD Lover]

So my GPU I have noticed both in games and folding throttles sometimes and it corresponds to when Afterburner says it hits a utilization limit? What is this and how can I fix this?

[ExcitezR]

what's your temps??

[Cokeman]

What GPU do you have?

[AMD Lover]

what's your temps??

29°C ~ 80°C

[AMD Lover]

What GPU do you have?

MSI 780 Lightning (1267 Core, 6010 Mem)

I'm back, had to go do some stuff.

by hits a utilization limit what do you mean it gets too 100% utilization the lowers itself?

[AMD Lover]

idk, I don't even know what the Utilization limit is for or affects all I know is that when MSI Afterburner hardware monitor says it hits it (BTW, its right under OV limit) my GPU will throttle its self down. GPU usage goes from 90~99% to 50%

Your an AMD lover and you have a Nvidia GPU?

Yeah.... Starting to think it was a bad choice

So its at 4% right now and it says I'm hitting it?

@Whaler_99 Do you have any ideas?

[ExcitezR]

i think it might be hitting your target temperature which you can change but IDK how

I moved it up to 90°C, It never gets over 80 and it was on 83 so idk

IDK then man

Should I RMA it, It has this thing too where when I wake my computer up from sleep it won't detect it for like 10sec and then it plays that do-doup sound that windows does when it sees a new device and when I log into windows my desktop is the standard desktop. It deletes my wallpaper.

oh well in that case try a different PCI slot then see if that works other then that RMA it i guess

I'd be running at 8x if I went one PCI slot down

[ExcitezR]

i dot think you will notice any speed difference but you could do it just to test it  

[Whaler_99]

8x or 16x won't make a bit of difference.

 

First off, on the 780, uninstall After burner and see how it does. My 780 went to shit when running it, I don't bother with it.

 

Otherwise open a support case, see if they have any ideas and then if not, request RMA.
