GPU performance fluctuates?

    So I do have a problem.
    My GPU is a R9 390 clocked at 1.1 GHz Core and 1.6 GHz Memory.
    My CPU is a Intel Xeon E3 1231v3 clocked at 3.8 GHz with 8GB RAM.
    .
    The temperature of my CPU never surpasses 64°C.
    My GPU will normally be at around 76-83°C. I noticed it doesnt surpass the 70°C mark anymore and that I get way lower FPS than normal.
    So I double checked. The GPU only ever reaches 100% stress for split seconds. The core clock fluctuates between 700 and 900 MHz.
    .
    I uninstalled all drivers and installed the newest Crimson software and the newest drivers.
    Then I checked if I had some kind of Energy Saver active. I dont.
    .
    And now I dont know how to continue.

    I would not be surprised if the update did something that is preventing full GPU utilization.

    I don't know much about AMD GPUs so I can't really help there.

    In case others did not read the post this was in.
    My 980 TI does not see more then about 50% usage playing this.

    The game is not depending on GPU.
    Even my 660 Ti is clocking itself down.
    So either deal with it or change your settings. Maybe downsamling.

    I could turn my settings down but i don't need more then 70+ FPS......

    Well it was at 100% before and I got better performance. Im going to check if my CPU is any problem today and report back

    So I checked. I still dont know if its a CPU issue. However I just set everything to 5 in the useroptions.ini and my performance (as well as the GPU utilisation) increased. Weird

    So it seems you were CPU limited before.
    Not that that limit is less a factor the framerate can increase and your GPU has mor work.
    Seems reasonable.
