[SOLVED] Rx 6800xt low usage/ low fps

[Thatgamerkidd22]

When playing games with my rx 6800xt I've noticed that my gpu is not being fully utilized. I was playing Minecraft and I couldn't push past 100fps at 1080p. Usage was spiking. Staying as low as 6% spiking to around 30-40%. But its constantly spiking. It also does this for many other games that I have tested as well. Its just very inconsistent gpu usage, as well as unusually low fps in games where it should be higher. Any way of making my gpu usage more stable and use more power? Any help will be appreciated. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/37029267

What is your CPU?

What is your CPU?

Ryzen 3700x

Render at 1440p using the amd software. This will get your gpu usage up. Could improve image quality as well.

Ok I’ll give that a try when I can

Is my gpu usage normal? It constantly spikes and I don't get great fps in games as well. There's constant stuttering and dips in fps

Is this normal usage while gaming?? I feel like my gpu isn't fully being utilized.

your gpu clock working normal , also the power consumption , so its normal

this is usage while gaming though. its normal? Why do you think i get low fps?

I get unusually low fps still. I uncapped the framerate on Dead by daylight and can barely push 80 fps. Usually around 60-80. While my friend with a 3070 gets 100+ constantly

then i want to know if you do overclock your PC and full specs ..

Have you made sure you downloaded all the necessary drivers for the card? i would recommend looking for AMD chipset drivers as well. BIOS updated? check all these things if you can. There are also drivers specific to your equipment on you MOBOs driver page.

The only other things I would suggest are maybe disabling windows "Game Mode" and see if that helps.

Well that is not good, what was your previous gpu?
What driver version are you using?
What else do you have running in the background? Or should I say what is occupying al this memory? 11.1 GB free of 16 GB

I had a GTX 1060 before and I uninstalled the drivers for that card. I have also got the latest drivers for my card now as well. I don't have much running in the background.

I will look into this and update you soon.

I will offer the normal suggestions
Download this
https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
Remove your current driver
reboot into safe mode
run the software you just downloaded
remove all traces of all video drivers
reboot
Install the most recent drivers ( I assumed you still had them downloaded)
reboot
test for the issue.

like spentshells said, you can try to reinstall all of your driver first .. if not working
reset your BIOS and check for update ...

playing at 1080p with a 6800xt?

Did you check to see if windows changed the refresh rate on you monitor after you installed the new card?
If your monitor has multiple refresh rate options windows will reset it to default (typically 60hz) whenever you update a driver and or change the GPU.

I plan on getting 1440p soon, but yeah my refresh rate is 144hz

By chance do you have ray tracing enabled? If so the FPS you are getting in Minecraft makes sense. How are you comparing FPS in your other games? Are you going off valid benchmarks like from Hardware Unboxed, or Gamers Nexus? Either way going off the chart you showed us, if that is game play then its not normal. You should have drops in clock speeds hear and there, but they shouldn't fluctuate the way they do in the graph.

I would start by DDU the current driver.
