Hello,

So I bought the r9 270x Hawk OC edition from MSI. After 4 months it broke I returned the gpu and got a new one. But the problem with this one is the usage and the heating of the card, sometimes when I launch the game the usage is all the way up to 100% and getting a temprature between 90-100 degress celcius.
But after restarting the game several times it is a stable heat arround 40-60 without the max usage. I tried this on multiple games, I tried it on a game from 2002 and the it goes up to a 100%. APB is also a game that I play 5/10 times the usage is 100% and this is when I start the game so there should be much gpu pwer needed.

Is this card broken?

My specs:
Motherboard: MSI G45-z87 Gaming motherboard.
CPU:i7 4770K
GPU: MSI R9 270X Hawk OC
PSU:Corsair 600Watt

I created a little video where you see that the temprature and usage changes everytime.
In this video I could not fully show when it is sometimes 100% usage and sometimes 50% but it
happens.

in this picture you see 100% usage and low temp

Restarting your PC may be restarting a hidden program running in the background as well. Make sure you don't have crypto-malware mining software on your PC. It will put a lot of load on your GPU at random times to mine for coins.

Hopefully this isn't the case, but try Malware-bytes and a few other anti malware programs and make sure to use a firewall and anti-virus when on the web.

Restarted my pc several times, I ran Malware-bytes several times and Anti-Virus is running.
I created a little video it doesn't show the whole thing where it sometimes works correctly and sometimes not I will update my post with the video.

Thanks for the quick respond
