GPU Clocks spikes when idle.

[nathz94]

What I said in the title, attached image. At idle every 1 minute timed there are spikes in the gpu clocks. I have tried: Update Drivers, Reinstall Drivers, No viruses (multiple tests found 0 viruses), I have no programs like MSI Afterburner or any other running. The only difference is that before it didn't do it to when it does is that I updated the BIOS from F3 to F62 (Gigabyte).

Is there a problem with this what the gpu is doing? It didn't do it before and I don't know if it can be dangerous.

Thank you all for help.

You can try with this tool https://systeminformer.sourceforge.io/nightly.php
Launch it as an Admin, open System Information and switch to the GPU tab. You'll see which process is using the GPU

Thanks for replying, I have tested it and when the gpu clocks go up, the gpu usage is the same (0.43% ~ 0.46% usage).

I really don't know whats happening.
I am out of ideas.

Do you have automatically switching Windows backgrounds enabled?

Close ALL internet browsers (preferably with disconnecting internet/network card), and check if it's still doing it.

Fresh OS drive

I'll try that. Thank you for all the help!

I'll try that. Thank you for all the help!

Do not copy existing data over till you notice problem is gone or not. The drive must have a virgin os on it

I think the issue is AMD software. Install driver only & see if that fixes it. You do not need to de-install, just run the same driver version & select driver only from the option menu.

Only way to truly know is cleanslate it

SOLVED! it was the AMD Software.

Let that be a lesson to all.

No matter how many cores you have, any software you can remove from task manger will make your computer run faster. This is why I have always run driver only & use an external program such as Afterburner to change card settings. AMD software can sometimes introduce stuttering, it depends on the interaction between driver & the rest of the software running in the background.

Overall your computer is better off with driver only install.

EDIT: Can't speak for user's with Nvidia cards as I have never own one of they cards, but it will be interesting for a user(s) to try driver only & post result.

EDIT2: OP fault was most likely the software checking for updates. Turning off automatic check for update may have fixed the original issue.

Yeah I turn off any autoupdate bs as it puts a load on the network, that stuff lives to be in the task scheduler even

Im thinking Radeon Pro for Enterprise would be fine

I turn off autoupdate on most of my programs. The only ones that are active are windows update & antivirus. Some programs are deactivated at startup. These are programs that are built into windows or part of a program that's needed to run games. With a simple tick box they can be reactivated.

Example Below: Windows 7 Last two program are disabled. ...Windows 10 list is different

I leave Windows update completely disabled (I might even gut it from windows) and am considering using powershell to install only updates I need (Vetting them)

2023 and AMD still have this problem. I just install the latest update and I got the same problem, thanks for the solution

You ever think to report the problem to AMD???

AMD Adrenalin Software: 23.7.2

The same issue happened to my RX 580 and was fixed by uninstalling Adrenalin Software. I guess AMD doesn't care about their GPU customers anymore.
