RX 480 on 100% load all the time?

[Quartz-1]

I think people here might be interested in this thread over at OCUK.

Hi - quick question regarding my RX480 4Gb card. For some reason, the load always seems to be at 100%, even with no games or windows open. I have used both GPU Temp and GPU-Z and they both report 100% load and a temperature of ~80 degrees. Using driver 16.7.3 (there is a newer driver, but it's beta)

(Many posts later with others confirming the issue.)

We're investigating this one internally folks.

If you'd read the linked thread, you'd have spotted that he's done a scan and is clean.

My RX 480 likes to do weird things sometimes. I just restart my PC and it fixes it. Right then it was running at 1100 for some reason. I did leave it running Black Desert Online overnight though.
