Hi guys, around a month ago my graphics card (AMD R9 280) would reach around 75 degrees and 100% usage during games, and play pretty much everything at a constant and smooth fps. Now during games the temperature of the card never exceeds 50 degrees celcius and the usage is never over 60%. I have tried to fix it by overclocking my processor (AMD FX-6300) to 4.5 Ghz from 3.8 to see if the card was being held back from the processor, however this did nothing to my GPU usage in games. I have also done a clean sweep of my graphics card drivers and re-installed, which again, solved nothing. I also have 8GB of ddr3 ram and a Corsair c600 power supply.
Edit* On 3Dmark my graphics card runs at 100% load consistently, anyone have an idea why this isn't the same when gaming?
