GPU maddness
Hi
Couple a days ago i noticed my gpu clocks are jumping all over while i am browsing the net, or using anything really, from total commander to explorer. Since i have dual monitor setup, i keep a few monitoring software's on secondary screen.
In idle the core clock is 250mhz, as soon as i move the mouse it jumps to 775mhz. Its strange since i didnt have that issue a few days ago.
On a, related issue, my card has gone nuts on YT/Twitch. While watching YT it jumps to 80% gpu usage. I checked if the hardware acc was turned on, it WASNT. I turned it on and gpu usage on YT is 10-20%, while disabled its 80%.
Same on Twitch and YT, same on Firefox and Chrome. This started a few days ago and its driving me nuts, i have less gpu usage playing games than watching YT videos in 720p.
Checked if i had any malware or such, all turned up clean. I restored a partition image 4 months old, when it all worked fine with older drivers. Same problem. Cleaned current windows with DDU and reinstalled new drivers, same problem. Both with gpu clocks and YT/Twitch gpu usage.
PC:
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-EP45C-DS3R
CPU - QuadCore Intel Xeon E5450
Ram - 2x4gb DDR2
VGA - Ati Radeon 6850 1g ram
PSU - Corsair Tx 650w
Strange thing is, that GPU clock rises, but GPU load stays low. As picture shows the clock jumping, this was browsing only, not youtube or any "heavy" content sites.
Any ideas?
Tnx
