The problem: I noticed while trying to play titanfall or warframe (two games that are more taxing than my usual LoL/Smite/Loadout) my screen would stutter and mouse input would be delayed rendering the game unplayable even at the lowest settings.
After doing a bunch of research I BELIEVE my issue is that my BUS interface reading in GPU-Z is only staying at x1.1 under load in the games I'm having issues with. In the games I have no problems with the graphics card shoots up to x2.0 and under the Sensors tab the gpu core clock maxes out @ 950. Where in the games I'm having problems with the core clock idles at 300.
Why is my card selectively ramping up in lower graphic games than higher?
(No Load)
(Under Load - Loadout game)
Any suggestions are appreciated, I've tried a plethora of solutions but none have solved it thus far.
