Gpu usage drops and unstable framerate.

[Maestro1998]

Ok, so I have new computer build: GPU: AMD R9 390 CPU: Intel skylake 6600K PSU: XFX 550W MOTHERBOARD: MSI Gaming M5 RAM: Corsair vengeance 2133Mhz 8GB.

 

When i play Battlefield 3 on ULTRA settings my fps is pretty low and i cant play it. I need to put my settings to high and disable all settings like AA and then i can barely play it(still lags) or when i play Fallout 4 and go inside house my fps drops a lot(This happens in any settings but in low settings its not so much) And when i go to the "Institute" my fps is around 30-40 inside the institute. Fps is stable 60 when im in wasteland but in city it drops 30-40. And when I play smite i have horrible performance I just cant play smite with this setup. And yeah i tried crysis 2 ULTRA it worked better than SMITE. When i play games I need to enable Vsync because if i limit my fps with Dxtory the game stutters A LOT. I can play games only with Vsync ON. In GtaV i get stuttering all the time with ultra and high settings.

Please help!

AfterBurner Gpu usage when i play Battlefield 3 and stopped playing Battlefield 3: https://gyazo.com/8ce69221acfe740af9c084e25f6a88d9 <- Look that Gpu usage And yeah I enabled unified GPU usage monitoring.

Yes and i reinstalled GPU drivers 2 times.

Help pls 

Update - Here is AB when i play Fallout4 near diamond city Vsync ON. https://gyazo.com/46f805abe25aa0cfc0025a32a046f723

Well, since you already installed the GPU driver more than once I´d suggest you take into consideration that this PSU is the problem. You could also try another PCIe slot for your GPU.

JohnnyGURU reviewed this and he wasn´t happy with the 12V+ regulation.

FO4 is pretty bad for AMD cards, and many AMD users struggle with massive FPS drops in this game. That´s a poorly optimized game, that´s all.

Disable Vsync and cap your frame rate with MSI Afterburner RTSS instead of DXTory? Also make sure AMD's Frame Rate Target Control is disabled.

 

Can't really fix Fallout 4 but you might want to disable in-game Vsync via .ini edits and cap the frame to 60 for slightly smoother experience.

Same stuttering.

The 390 is a power hungry card so the psu may be a problem. You may also be using the integrated graphics by accident so make sure you disable it and make your 390 the primary gpu.

It would be nice to know can my 550 handle the 390 because my build only needs 480w(Extreme power consumption test) Can bad performance mean that card is broken? Its not overheating.

390 should have 650W to avoid issues!

I highly doubt that having bad performance means that the card is broken, although it may be possible. The best thing that you can do now is to find a high wattage power supply ( 750w or something )  and try the card out with it to make sure that your power supply is the cause of the problem, even though it can handle the card.

 

Also, make sure that your main graphics adapter is the 390 and not the integrated graphics. Also make sure that the PCI-E generation that is being used to run the card is 3.0 ( as the card is using PCI-E 3.0 ). You can change the PCI-E generation in your motherboard bios.

 

If that still does not work out, then I really don't know what's causing this so its best to RMA it if nothing seems to work out.

Are you using crimson 15.12 drivers. If not please install them.

 

I don't know what's causing it but your screenshots show the GPU clocks jumping all over the place.

It's possible but I don't think so, unless his PSU is sub-par.

I run an R9 290 vapor-x and an i7 3770k on a 550 watt seasonic unit. Lot's of other stuff in the system too.

I have even tested with furmark and intel burn test at the same time (ridiculously unrealistic) and it was stable.

 

Still he can test that by downclocking his GPU to 950Mhz core and 5000Mhz memory to reduce power consumption and see if it stabilizes.
