the games I have been running when checking are wow and swtor. I also have tried burn-in tests with furmark and kombustor. gpu-z and kombustor both up at same time, never a single pulse of gpu load. I have been watching my power consumption to gauge raised gpu activity, but I want to know the actual load %.
as far as afterburner is concerned, as I understand it, after burner doesn't actually read gpu info, it uses kombustor to do that. I still tried to use afterburner and got 0% gpu load.
My card works great, its stock cooling and I have it clocked pretty high, temps never get above 73. I just want to know the load % when i have all the setting at ultra but am afk while logged in and just doing nothing.
