No GPU activity, low performance

[Ricky93]

Hi guys, today I moved from 32 to 64 bits W7 so I can make better use of my CPU and RAM. I installed the most recent AMD drivers, 13.9.
I noticed my GPU activity is most of the part at 0%. Sometimes it has spikes where it goes up to 30/40% for a sec. My performance is pretty bad, I can't play any games and even youtube's videos sometimes lag.

Does anyone experienced similar results?

can you fill out your system specs and also is this with one or two GPU's installed?

Hi Ricky,

As mentioned, please update your system specs. You mentioned that you installed x64 on your PC. Did you install the 64 bit driver for your card on your PC?

Download driver sweeper and the latest 64 bit drivers for your card (which you will update ). Uninstall the current drivers, run driver sweeper to clean the left overs of the driver. Reboot and then install that beautiful 64 bit drivers and check.

Keep us posted.
