GPU Performance spikes in graph (wave pattern)

[BarndoorRoge]

Hi,

I had a 1060 6GB Ryzen 5, and upgraded to Ryzen 7 and an AMD 590. The game ran fine on the previous setup, but in the AMD support software I'm noticing the GPU spiking up and down constantly, from like 0 to full. When I started up the game the fans on the system like CPU went roaring.

Anyone know what is going on?

N.B: I'm not interested in this hardware is better than that, or why did I upgrade, I had my reasons, I just want to focus on who and what has the issue. Whether it is AMD or Nvidia or software related for example, so that it can be fixed if needs be.

Did you tweak the radeon software settings at all?

Also, did you run DDU?

AMD has had problems with destiny 2 in the past

Try reinstalling your display driver or rolling back to a previous driver that had no issues for you. Use DDU to do a clean uninstall of your display driver if you do

Ok, thanx. Yeah I will take a look at that.

The game seems to be running fine in game. It looks good and reacts smoothly, no spikes there in visuals or anything. Noticing that CPU usage is very low too, like 12%

What may have made a difference is that I limited framerate to 60fps. Maybe it was just going hog wild and maxing fps, and causing the fans to spin to 100%

The radeon settings are for e-sports, and I have set it to overclock automatically. I'm also using Razer Cortex.

Destiny usually doesn't take a lot of resources, maybe this system is just beefy for it? Still you'd expect smoother performance, and not those waves, then? I don't know, speculating for now,

I'll keep an eye on it.

Ok, ran DDU, cool software by the way, and uninstalled both NVIDIA en AMD drivers, then reinstalled AMD only.

Same thing happens with the spikes. Turned off fps limit, and that doesn't make a difference now.

CPU: 4-10%
RAM: 33% of 16GB
GPU: 0-100% (or steps in between like 29%)
VRAM: 11%

Purring like a kitten

Maybe it is just a game thing, I'll check how it handles in a raid or something, see if load then, maybe there is some code that if the player is standing still the game goes into some kind of sleep modus, given the nature of the game(?).
