Some days ago i gave my friend my old msi hd4850, problem is he has 20-30 fps in games
on low settings with 1024x768(which is not normal AT ALL) and gpu-z, hwinfo32 and
the CCC Control panel in the amd overdrive section all of them show 0% gpu usage
it does not move on Furmark or any kind of game, i don't know whats wrong...
I Reinstalled his drivers, tried 13.1 whql, 13.4 and 13.9, he is running windows 7 32-bit.

Someone please give me an idea where to look because this is really frustrating..

It might be overheating issue, or driver issue. Also check your GPU temperatures, it might be getting hot then it's automatically downclocking itself. A 4850 became a really old card, I would suggest replacing it.

It is not overheating at all, when its idle its 32C and when i put on furmark for 1 minute its 37C...
And i cant replace the card cuz it was a gift from me to my friend, he had a 8500gt so having a 4850 now
will make a big difference for him. and the card was working perfectly fine here.
