So recently I have been having problems with my GPU or so I thought it turns out it's something to do with the Crimson driver from what I can tell. I have tested the GPU and it seems to run really well without any problems just for some reason the Crimson driver is hindering its performance. Or at least it's my take on the matter.
So when my GPU isn't being used For all intents and purposes lets say gaming the GPU clock sits at 300MHz. That's normal its expected most modern GPUs don't run at full performance all the time to preserve the GPU save power etc. However here's the problematic part, when I'm playing a game for example let's say Overwatch. My GPU clock goes up to 400MHz and stays capped at that speed. The GPU clock can go up to a maximum of 900MHz and is set to do so. However it doesn't. Sometimes if I leave my computer idle for a while sometimes it fixes itself and when I launch at game my GPU will run at full pelt on 900MHz which is required in order to get the best performance possible so that I don't get low FPS.
I have tried a number of fixes including checking to make sure the GPU itself is fine and works fully which it does. Completely uninstalled all AMD drivers using the AMD cleanup utility, reinstalled the drivers restarted the computer and it was fixed of course after shutting down my PC for the night and starting it back up in the morning the same problem has occurred all games capped at 400mhz even though the GPU is free to run up to the maximum clock speed which is 900MHz. I have also made sure that my power settings are not set to power saver it's set to High Performance. I would really love to get this fixed because I hate having to wait for this thing to sort itself out. I also don't want to keep uninstalling and reinstalling the driver every time I want to have a gaming session.
Specs
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon 7750 1GB
RAM: 16GB
MOBO: MSI motherboard (not entirely sure specifics) ( It's decent it works fine)
Im looking for temporary fix right now because I going to ditch this card in favor of a GTX 1080 this January
