Question Why does my graphics card's performance jump between 100%, 0%, 20%, 12%, 0%?

Hello community

Thanks in advance for all your help. My specifications:

Motherboard: Asus Prime B450 K ll
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 3.6gh , 6 cores, 12 threads
Ram: Hyper X 32gb DDR4
Graphic card: Radeon Saphire RX 580 4gb
Power supply: 750W
SSD: M2

I know that some games are more demanding on the processor. But for now, let's talk only about games where the graphics are dominant. It doesn't matter what game I play, whether it's the latest or an older one, with each of them the game is primarily driven by the processor, the graphics card jumps 100%, 20%, 0%, 58%, 22%, 12%, 70%, and so on. But it's more likely to stay at 0. The graphics card is supposed to work according to the load, but I've never seen such jumps in any graphics card. Even though the game isn't demanding and the graphics are at 70% max, it keeps that 70% constant, and doesn't make jumps like mine. I tried reinstalling, I tried old drivers. Nothing helped. The BIOS was last updated at the end of 2023. I'll think about whether that's also a problem. Or is the problem in the motherboard itself. I'd appreciate any advice you can give me. Thanks for your help.

What, if anything, are you overclocking (CPU, GPU, memory)?

What are your CPU and GPU operating temperatures at idle and under load?

Are your AMD chipset drivers up to date?

I tried installing the latest drivers, according to the link you sent me, and I got this warning about 5 times during the installation.

This happened with the latest drivers?

The linked image appears rather old.

Did you run as administrator?

And under load the processor goes to 80%, the graphics goes from 0 to 100, it jumps. And the CPU temperatures at rest are 30 degrees, under load about 75 and the graphics at rest 40 and under load 65 max.

Temps are okay.

I downloaded it now from the link you sent. And ye run with administrator

I have never seen that error after installing many hundreds of times over many years.

Have you scanned your system for malware recently?

Try this. Use DDU to uninstall your current AMD drivers. Upon restart afterward, install the current drivers for the chipset and your GPU.

Do not start another thread on this topic, please. Thank you.

I've tried that too, and no results.

At this point, I would wipe the entire system and reinstall Windows 11 completely new.

V tomto momente by som vymazal celý systém a preinštaloval Windows 11 úplne nový.

I understand, but I'll try something because it's a headache.
