I said around 70-80 Celsius when playing Rocket League and GPU utilization is around 50%. The fans are going max rotation speed (around 4500 RPM) and the temperatures hit maximum 91 Celsius when playing BF4 with vsync. The GPU has Windforce 3x 75mm fans. I have two 80mm fans on the front blowing...

I got the GPU utilization, which seems to be the D3D Usage that I wanted, from HWiNFO. I'm not sure if my temps are as good as they should be, around 90 degrees Celsius on around 70% utilization. (Battlefield 4 ultra graphics 1080p with vsync 60Hz on)

To clarify what I'm after here, I would like GPU-Z to log the % of maximum potential performance used, like Windows Task Manager does it. But the "GPU Load" readings aren't indicating that at all. Are they supposed to, is it broken, or is there not any way to do it as I want?

I wouldn't trust the memory controller load either. Memory Used (Dedicated), which is third column from right, shows that there is over 1GB VRAM being used during that session (from 2 to 4 minutes) and I was in-game the whole time.

Time-data is done by me (+10sec, as set in GPU-Z also) just so I get to make the graph easier. As you can see, GPU-Z is mainly giving 0 or 100 values. Here are my GPU-Z sensor settings It simply can't be right. There's a 2 minutes long 0% load period during gaming. I've tried with 0.1 sec...

Planning to reapply the thermal paste. Why do both Task Manager and HWMonitor give a steady 50% GPU load, which seems to be more reliable than varying between 0-100% a lot?

I had way lower temperatures before my GPU fans came to their end and I replaced them with similar ones. I also reapplied thermal paste (for the first time) and I think I didn't do that well enough.

I don't think there is any correlation between heat and GPU-Z functionality. Should work even despite the slight heat problems. The R9 290 is a hot card anyways. I always use vsync (60Hz) or other limiter on games.

I use GPU-Z mainly to log data from my GPU to analyze it. I think there's something wrong with the readings I'm getting now. This the graph from GPU-Z provided data when I play Rocket League: Meanwhile I monitored the reading from Task Manager at the same time. There the readings were 50%-ish...
