So I'm running a VTX3D R9 280 X-edition(not 280X) and it started a couple months back when i started up Eurotruck Simulator 2. When i got to the menu my GPU started going crazy and according to CPUID HWMonitor hit 99C so i panicked and quit the game.
I got the card in a prebuilt a few years ago and thought it was time to change the thermal paste. took it off, put it on, blah blah blah and that reduced the temps a little so it doesn't get over 82ish.
Today however i started up Fortnite and in the menu it went straight to 100% usage and 93C so obviously i tried to stay out of the menu as much as possible. V-Sync is on and Fortnite is capped at 60fps within the game menu's too.
So what im asking is, is there a way for me to reduce the stupidly unnecessary effort that my GPU is putting in to load a menu?
Rest of the rig:
AMD Ryzen 1600x
beQuiet Pure Rock Cooler
16Gb G.Skill Z Trident RGB
XFX 550W PSU
Sandisk 240GB SSD(boot)
Samsung 5400RPM 2TB HDD
MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon
Gamemax Titan RGB Case
