Yes, I already checked that it was well connected. The motherboard has the updated BIOS

Can you expand GPU D3D Utilizations and post a screenshot?

Zach_01 · Saturday at 5:18 PM

Definitely something is going on
Something is keeping the GPU not fall to "close to idle" condition.

I've pointed out the parts that dont fluctuate enough. Of course some of them are due to (probably) short time section of HWiNFO64 running.
My screenshot contains values of 3+ hours.

I suggest to start closing apps running in system tray and see 1 by 1 if GPU utilization drops.
If that don't work then I would search in task manager every process of what it is, by googling it.

Good afternoon, I have a RX 6800 xt from GIGABYTE that seems to be in good condition but I have a problem. At idle it remains at 99%. I already did a clean installation of Windows and the problem continues.

99% utilization and consumes 59W, i see AMD software is working fine as usual.

Right, dont miss the chance of bashing AMD.
Let us first find what's going on and then we can whoop AMD's arse...

the problem that i see is that he is looking at numbers that make no sense. the 6800 draws around what is there, i see no other problem

Well I can see that the GPU is running something.
Minor, but its something as it not let it fall into idle.
If you dont you dont...

whatever it is, it was no relation to the original problem, a problem that was caused by looking at a buggy software

adrenaline is infamous for stuff like that, no one should take it seriously, it's not bashing, it's a fact

Anything related to xb crap?

yes, possible! I've seen a couple of reports in relation to these recording features which trigger GPU max utilisation with nothing showing in the task manager.

AETM132 said:
I just turn on the resize BAR on the BIOS and that seems to fix the problem. I Will test for a few days, thank you guys

Thats interesting! Glad its helping. Maybe miscommunication (or driver features) between CPU~GPU causing full utilisation.

If the problem reoccurs:

- Make sure BIOS is up-to-date which includes improved support for Re-Bar

- Assuming you're installing the GPUs driver directly from the AMD GPU support page - consider DDU'ing and then trying a previous driver version. 6800 XT previous drivers: https://www.amd.com/en/support/down...eon-rx-6000-series/amd-radeon-rx-6800-xt.html

I had a similar issue on my nephews gaming machine. With everything already updated, setting the power plan to balanced and disabling recording features didn't work. I tried a whole bunch of other troubleshooting methods without success. Eventually, pulled his radeon card out and dropped in a 1660 TI to see if the problem lingered. No issues. Again with the DDU and dropped his card back in. Everything was fine until his first gaming session and boom the issue returned. The weird bit, i tried disabling the recording features one more time just for the sake of it - BOOM!! IT WORKED!! A classic tech mystery, perhaps the real culprit remained elusive.

Agree to disagree
A fact is that whenever "weird" stuff is happening AMD drivers gets the blame.

You can take it hilariously if you like, feel.
I can definitely see something is happening here. So why every info app reports a 99% util when its something minor, I dont know. I do not know how these things actually work.
Unless you are on some team writing drivers for GPUs I safely assume that you dont know what are you talking about and just repeating the "fact" of coffee table discussions on internet.

Seems its like we now have to make custom isos to remove tge bloat, no one uses the xbox features anyway

only 1 monitor, yeah i remove it and reseat it. how i know if i have a modified vbios? i will upload the vbios of my gpu

Get a picture of the white sticker from the back of the card please, also in GPU-Z switch to the Advanced Tab and Screenshot Everything in there, that means clicking the V next to the word general.

I also provided the last video in my previous reply to Zach about a potential fix that might work on AMD.

AETM132 said:

Check my other post, ive attached videos,

since you bough that card used:

If I were you, after this issue, if not resolved, return that card and get a Brand New In box unit, not used, whether a rx6800, 6900, 7800, 7900. Skip the headaches with the used market.

That's definitely not idle. Something is running on your GPU.

Can you check Task Manager, and sort your running apps by GPU usage?

Regardless of your opinion on the Adrenaline software, it does not cause a 99% utilisation.

On task manager seems to be all good that's the crazy thing. No 99% usage

I put the computer to hibernate and the problem went away again, but it came back after a few minutes. any ideas?

Most likely what ever is running it gets suspended in hibernation and the restarts when PC is awaking.
We cant magically know what is that. For me you have to start killing apps from system tray and search your processes in task manager. Maybe kill some there too after you make certain they will not hang windows. Google them.

Even gpu-z puts a load on the card like afterburner does for monitoring, when that tool starts it accesses the card to gather information to make an output on the screen

Hello, I did everything of those videos but nothing happened. I don´t know if you saw the pictures about the GPU information. I don't know if i have a modified BIOS or is the original one. i was playing and everything seems to be great but that idle utilization problem is really weird.

Well no issues gaming and 0 useage reported by windows task manager, id say leave it alone.

This is the stock bios which has been verified, notice how everything matches yours?

Maybe it's mentioned before ( I swiped the thread too fast), but have you tried disabling game mode in windows? It's kinda on by default on newer versions (at least on my current one, it wasn't the case with 1807 IIRC).

some driver issue maybe. That card is not at 99% either way, not with that power draw.

DDU and reinstall again, the usual with AMD cards. Try a different driver, older ones. See if it goes away.

Compute tasks, like Folding@Home or BOINC can put a 99% load on the GPU with a much lower than expected power draw, especially on AMD. The 7800 XT I once had did BOINC at ~120 W.

The only driver issue is if OP didn't uninstall the old one / install the new one properly. Otherwise, moose muffins.

This MUST be something running in the background. There's no other explanation for a 99% load. OP will have to find what it is.
