You mean that i give possibility to memory to run a Maximun of 950MHz an it uses what’s necessary? I thought it was a constat paramater! My bad

Thank you.

I was playing this evening and noticed on GPU-Z that also core clock also fluctuates °_°

What does it mean? And what may cause that?

Wow! I’m so happy to hear someone with my same configuration! Indeed i have 45-60 (mostly 60) FPS outdoor and 30-45 in Lion’s Arch.
Since i don’t have a lvl80 character i haven’t already tried what happens in dungeons (lot of particles and other shiny things) to my FPS. Load floats between 70-99% as you said.

Just a question, you have a lvl80 character? What about fps in dungeons? Still 45-60 ALWAYS? I’m asking so i can have something to compare as soon as i reach it.

Thank you!

I tried GPU-Z and gives me the same resulst that i obtained with MSI-afterburner:
high GPU load, no overheating.

The only strange thing i noticed is that it runs at 850/1250 MHz and not 950/1250 MHz (stock boost). I had to change it manually, but nothing improved.

I’ll try with GPU-Z. Yesterday i checked and i’m sure i placed my card into the PCIe 3.0 slot (i also re-inserted it).

Thank you.

You are using ultra settings thats normal. lower settings get better fps. Start with Supersample, Fxaa, shadows.

I linked my brother’s PC because he uses the same settings and his GPU doesn’t load that much.

Bottlenecking 99% of gpu load is the way it should be yours is fine your brothers’ isnt. But still if you want to lower its load for I dont know why then you better start turning down the settings i told you earlier.

No way to fix except changing the components? Am i right?

Thank you, btw.

I just thought, i installed the graphic card by myself. So i thought about 2 thing.
Maybe that’s caused by a wrong physical installation.
May i have plugged the card in the wrong slot? If yes, may it be the cause?
Or, may i have inserted wrong the PSU cable? Or something :|?

What is your resolution and your brother’s? Also what are your driver versions?

I have a 7850 OC’d to 1000MHz and using Eyefinity, and rarely cap to 99% usage (to be fair though my CPU is pretty weak).

He plays at the same settings. 1920×1080 resolution. I am using 13.4 Catalyst Driver and i’m not sure about his, i think 12.8.

Hi, i’m experiencing really high GPU usage (almost always 99%). I am playing at maximum setting (vsync enabled and supersample).
I usually run at 45-60 FPS outdoor and 30-45 FPS at Lion’s Arch (they are never stable). GPU reaches a maximun of 66°C which is normal.

My brother has got an older PC and run always between 25-30 FPS with stable GPU load around 30-40%.

What i would like to know: is that normal? Should i experience better performace?

My comp:

i5-3570
AsRock z77 pro3
8GB DDR3 RAM 1600MHz
Sapphire HD7950 Vapor-X

My brother’s comp:
i5-2500
AsRock z68
8GB DDR3 RAM 1600MHz
HD6950

Thank you.
