Hello there!

Few days ago I installed MSI Afterburner to monitor my temperatures.
Recently I noticed that in games my GPU usage jumps from 100% to 0% just for 1 second.
This doesn't affect my performance in game just the fact that it jumps from 100% to 0% quite often.

Here I have some screenshots: CS:GO. GTA 5.

I wonder if this is normal or I have some problems with my video card, or just some driver issues.

Thank you in advance!

This is common in amd cards, happens to me to. There is something wrong with the monitoring with the cards, im not saying every card is affected by this but both my r9 290x and previous amd cards i've had had this issue. It never affected my performance either.

Rest of the specs are:
CPU: Intel Core i5 6600K 3.5GHz
Motherboard: ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING
Ram: HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2*8GB) DDR4 2400MHz
Power supply: Seasonic S12II-620 Bronze 620W

I chcked in MSI Afterburner "Enable unified gpu usage monitoring" and it kinda fixed the problem. Now in MSI Afterburner's monitoring it doesn't jump anymore to 0%, but when I checked that in GPU-Z is still the same, jumping to 0 for 1 second then going to 100%.
