Unjustified GPU usage?
I have 100% GPU usage for 99% of time. I have R9 290, last patch, last driver. Normally if something keeps 60 FPS, then GPU slows down. But this time it's 100% nearly all the time (in map it throttles down). I think there is some waste of calculation power. Never before my GPU worked like in synthetic benchmark reaching very big temperatures like 75 degrees (because it lasts for hours). If I turn FPS limiter down I can reach about 80 FPS most of the time with my detail level. It looks like it's rendering maximum number of FPS it possibly can (explaining unjust usage), and then cuts it down to 60. This or another way there is most probably some "power leak". I don't believe in 100% usage being actually needed to keep 60 FPS all the time.
