So basically i have been having this weird issue with my gpu usage.
I can't get a good(high) usage in games used to play fine.
This low usage results in low fps, i get like @ max 53% usage.
You would think oh thats a cpu bottleneck, but that's not the case here my cpu is around 80% on all cores.
I have tried reinstalling the drivers without any result.
When i use msi kombustor core stress i can get 99% load, but in the v2 version it goes up from 60 to 99 back and forth.
Another weird thing is that when i do vram stress test, my gpu makes a weird noise @ 2gb test. And my whole pc freezes @ 3gb test.

Any suggestions?

What version do you have of the AMD r9 280x? PSU?
