Howdy! I'm submitting a question of my own after scouring the internet for information. I recently got a used custom gaming rig and have encountered a series of issues regarding CPU usage and GPU usage, especially in regards to game performance. I've done a litany of troubleshooting (including reaching out to the previous owner of the rig) and nothing has turned up. To give an idea of my problems, I'm going to try to be as thorough as possible.
So, a bit of background. I bought the following rig:
* H81M-C Motherboard
* Radeon XFX RX570 8GB Graphics Card
* Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4590 CPU @ 3.30GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.3GHz
* Corsair Vengeance DDR3 16 GB RAM
* 500 GB HDD
Okay, so that gives an idea of what I'm starting with. In addition, I purchased a 200~ GB SSD, onto which I installed Windows 10 (current build: 18362). Because the HDD had an inactivated copy of Windows installed, I wiped and formatted the hard drive. I also reset the BIOS and updated it to the H81M-C BIOS driver version 3602 (as well as installing the motherboard chipset driver Version 11.0.0.1172.
So, the problem:
When I run games, I suffer noticeable drops in fps rates. I first noticed it in Total War Warhammer, in which (on the lowest graphics settings) the game was operating at single-digit fps rates. In GTA V, the frame rate is consistently at or below 20 fps, and when I drive, game assets fail to load-- to the point where I fall below the map on straightaways. The game RUST has similar issues (which is the game that the guy I bought this rig from used as his benchmark, and he claimed he experienced no issues). Even in Chivalry Medival Warfare on lowest settings, my fps rapidly switch between 60 and just below 30.
So, using Radeon's monitoring software, I checked GPU and CPU util while I played these games, and I noticed something interesting: while Radeon reported that my GPU usage was jumping between 0% and 100% (while occasionally landing on middle numbers), my Windows Task Manager reported I was consistently using about 30% of my GPU (which is what I expected). However, GPU-Z's report aligned almost perfectly with Radeon's performance check. The GPU's temperature sat at a reasonable 70-80 C while running GTA V.
Meanwhile, according to Radeon, my CPU UTIL was staying firmly at just about 100% while playing any of these games, while according to Windows Task Manager, my CPU usage peaked at just over 30%. In fact, I've never seen my CPU usage go over the mid-thirties, according to Windows. Additionally, my CPU temperature sits around 97 C when playing games.
While gaming, my GPU PWR is a little erratic, mostly sitting around 40W, but jumping to 70W at the most. The Fan RPM sits consistently at just over 700 RPM.
I've updated all the drivers I can think of-- GPU, Motherboard, BIOS. I also installed the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool x64. All tests came up clean.
By all standards and benchmarks, I should be able to run most games smoothly. Instead, I'm having this problem. Interestingly, the RAM UTIL measurement on radeon matches Windows' measurement. I've been sure to set Windows to High Power mode, and the CPU minimum and maximum usage to 100%. This issue also occurred when I was in balanced power mode.
Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!
