I found the option in the settings to open GPU-Z on windows startup, very handy. But could it possibly remember the last used window position too? It's not much, but having to drag the GPU-Z window onto my second monitor on every boot is mildly annoying ;)

Yep, works fine now :)

Just to follow up: New motherboard/CPU/RAM and a fresh win10 install, exact same problem, still 16% GPU and 100% RAM load always.

Same here. 16% GPU, 100% memory load, all the time. Latest GPU drivers. I'll be using a fresh windows install next week, once the final component for my new PC build arrives, so i wonder if that will fix anything (current windows install well over a year old)

Aha! It was MSI afterburner overiding the settings. To be honest, i'd completely forgotten it was even installed, haven't touched it in many months. All seems to be working as it should now i've uninstalled it, thank you.

/facepalm moment Knew i'd forgotten something obvious. I tried that when initially trying to fix the overdrive settings, but i haven't after the BIOS flash to forcibly change the clocks... I'll give that a go tomorrow.

Right, have confused myself now and i'm at a loss to what to try next... Card in question is a Powercolor AMD R9 390 8GB. The card quite happily overclocks from 1010/1500mhz GPU/RAM to 1060/1600mhz without needing any power tweaks at all, but the crimson driver app resets to default clocks...

Could i get a link? Sounds like the same bug i have with my R9 390 so you might kill two bugs with one fix :D

This does seem similar to the thread i posted quite a long time ago http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/memory-usage-counter-resets-above-4gb-r9-390.220697/ It does seem to be that GPU-Z does not report correctly on memory levels much above 4GB...

Nope, exactly the same performance. Also if the memory usage drops a bit (say loading a level in XCOM) it'll jump back up to the correct readings if lower than ~4300MB. My guess is when the value drops to say 500MB after getting past 4.3GB the card is actually using 4500MB RAM yet GPU-Z can't...

Small update: Just noticed the same behaviour in XCom2. The game doesn't often go much over 4GB, but if it does go over 4.2-4.3GB the counter drops to ~300MB. This is with the latest driver (16.3.1)

Pretty much (Crimson 16.1.1 beta driver, but i just looked and i noticed there's a 16.2.1 version available now) Want me to try that or revert to the non-beta version?

Apologies if this has been reported before, couldn't find anything via a search :) I often run GPU-Z on my second monitor for monitoring, when playing subnautica on the highest graphical settings the memory usage counter reads fine until roughly ~4300MB out of the 8GB VRAM usage then acts oddly...
