Hey i do have a strange problem. when playing Gta 5 my GPU usage is spiking all the time. it never stays at 100% or close to. I also do get FPS drops. Sometimes i do get a black screen with vertical stripes. In case of a RMA i made a video with full of evidence. https://youtu.be/BvbLrhX34ao Please watch it fully. So far i tryed these things, DDU remove old drivers, Install Gta 5 drivers, Tryed different ram stick. Fresh windows, Underclock card, Prime 95, Furmark, Bios update, Reseating GPU, Unparking Cores Cleaning my GPU + system from dust. Most intresting part is that a friend of mine took mine R9 290 in his system and it runned withouth any problems, he has a similiar build like mine
My build: I5 4440, 8GB DDR3 1600,R9 290 Royalking Club 3d, Sythe big Shuriken Rev 2B, MSI H81M P33, Coolermaster G550M
Friends build,I5 4440, 8GB DDR3 1600,R9 290 Windforce, MSI H81M P33, Corsair V550
Since it runned fine in his system im not sure if i should RMA my card or not. In BF4 and other games my GPU stays at a 100% load Please again make sure to watch the link i provided since its full of helpfull information. I am the most worried about the Vertical stripes

What cooler do you have? If the cooler is not sufficient there is the possibility of the system thermal throttling and causing the system to have lag spikes and when the CPU gets too hot it will shut down the system.

My R9 290 was 88Degrees after 34Min of furmark. my CPU was 60 Degrees after 34Min of Prime95. My cpu cooler is a Sythe Big Shuriken Rev 2B. Did u saw the youtube link ?
