K, not that specs. We're talking about in your profile page. We also need the info tab of GPU-z, not the resource measurements.

Oh and stop double/triple posting, it's against forum rules.

newest gpu-z:
https://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2718/techpowerup-gpu-z-v0-8-9
newest bios for your motherboard?
there are bios updates for your gpu dating 2016
integrated graphic disabled?
i have the latest bios for my mobo
gpu latest update
integrated disabled
also my fan is stuck at 40 percent even when idle. the should just start spinning if the temp goes above 53 degrees and as you can see on the temps on gpu-z it cant detect my gpu temps.
FYI i used the igpu for while. while waiting for my gpu.
is my gpu defective?
i also plug in another low end gpu on my system and it detects everything expect gpu temps. and the fan is also at 40 percent idle. but i did not install its gpu driver.
should i try to reset the bios?
also tried to reinstall everything. same thing happens.
need help.

It says in GPU-Z you are running Catalyst 15.8

Download the latest version from AMD's site, or here at TPU in our downloads section and check if that makes any difference.

i already tried at least five different drivers, even the latest drivers. still the same output.
the only improvement i had was now i have gpu load but before it stays at zero percent.
would resseting my bios make a difference?
tnx for the reply master.

No offence to SnakeDoctor, but I'd listen to W1zzard first. Pretty sure he is a lot more knowledgeable than SnakeDoctor. I mean, he did create GPU-Z and he does run this web site.

Sorry man, my post didn't do a very good job in relaying what I was trying to say. I didn't mean to belittle your comment in anyway.

GPU load should be at 0% when sitting at the desktop, higher during games.

Do you have only one graphics card? and the monitor cable is connected to it?

Have you tried completely uninstalling the AMD drivers from the control panel and then reinstalling them?

Does the card work in another PC ?

tried another gpu the hd 6670 and the readings are normal on gpu-z. the fans are at 39 percent idle and pretty normal.
and i don't know how to flash bios a gpu and i might break it even more. i dont even know what bios version i have
so you think my gpu is bad?

Try the card in another PC, if it doesn't work there either, you should RMA it
