Unstable GPU Clock
Unstable GPU Clock
Hello, a week ago I purchased a Gigabyte RX460 with 4GB RAM. I installed Windows along with the latest Crimson drivers for the Rx 400 series, which is the correct driver. After downloading the MSI afterburner just to have it on my desktop, I accidentally opened it and noticed the core clock of my card fluctuating between 200 and 900 and back again. This happened repeatedly. My card was overclocked by Gigabyte when I bought it, so I’m worried about what might be happening. Is this normal? Is it okay to do this? My PC specs are: AMD FX-6300.
Typically the card slows down during simple tasks like opening windows. But when using 3d apps or rendering, it performs at full speed. This behavior is known as throttling and is quite common for most GPUs. However, it shouldn't be so unpredictable. What were you doing right then? Do you recall?
