AMD Host Services

[Rowan88]

Hi,

Happy new year!

I started a game of Battlefield 5 and noticed it was lagging like mad. I checked task manager and noticed my CPU usage was at 99%. I also noticed it was the AMD Radeon Settings: Host Services that was taking up about 40-50% of the usage.

I ran DDU and installed a new driver clean but even sitting on my desktop the service is still using around 40% idle.



I then got a message saying something about it wanting to enable virtual resolution because of multiple high dpi displays or something... I enabled it and the cpu usage has went to normal.

But I only have one monitor connected so why is it detecting more?

Any ideas?

Thanks, ill DDU, reinstall without that option ticked (and fast boot was already off).

Cheers for the advice.

Also are the optional updates worth doing? or just stick with standard

Yeah I meant the AMD optional (newer beta) drivers.

Thanks again for the help.
