Hey,

my XFX HD6950 1GB is running at 95%-99% when not performing any tasks. Here are some solutions i tried which did not work:

I restarted my pc but that did not solve the problem.
I tried to reinstall my driver but that also did not fix the problem.

the driver i am running for my GPU is the latest catalyst control centre. The problem started a few hours ago but my pc did not crash (yet).

I hope one of you knows the solution for this problem, I would be very grateful :)

PS. Sorry for my English grammar, it is not my main language ;)

Don't just restart, do a complete power down, actually remove the plug from the wall and press the power button to completely allow everything to reset (unknown to many people a low power circuit stays active even when the system is turned off)
Then power back on and see if the card has begun to behave normally.


...I would also ask what application or monitoring feature are you using to determine the card is running at max output?

catalyst control center has a feature that allows to look at the activity of fans, GPU, temperature and so on.
but thanks for the tip. I will now shut down my pc completely and hope the problem is fixed by that.

I tried older and newer versions, but I know partially what the problem I now. Every time I connect to the internet my activity goes to 99%. When I disable my connection the activity drops to 0%.

Well if that's the case maybe you should look for possible bios and chipset updates that might address this.
I know my old asus board wouldn't work right with the 58xx series cards without a bios patch.
