Try the new driver.
Expected behaviour, Wattman limits below.
RX 480 - 2250Mhz
RX 470 - 2100Mhz
RX 460 - 2000Mhz
this is what happens to my mouse, probably once a day since getting my RX480.
This ontop of random GPU freezes (pc still works but no screen) since 16.7.3.
As a temporary solution to this known issue, try enabling short mouse trails.
Expected behaviour. The stock RX 480 does not hold it boost clock with 0% power limit, so a overclocked model will show the same fluctuation unless you increase the power limit.
Im getting the same fluctuations at stock or overclocked, both with +50% power limit. And it seems anything i do on an idle desktop is pushing the GPU clocks up and down, from moving the mouse, right clicking desktop and playing Twitch streams even with hardware acceleration disabled in Chrome.
I just want my CPU to do all these things and the 480 just to do my gaming tasks, is that too much to ask from an RX 480 and its drivers?
This must be why 0db/0% fan speed is giving high temps, because the GPU is being utilized for even the smallest tasks done on the displays that the 480 is hooked up to, i have 1 monitor hooked up to my 480, the other 2 are hooked up to my 6700K's iGPU and when i do stuff on those other 2 monitors the 480 is fine with no fluctuations in clock speeds.
Try and replicate this and you might understand what im getting at here.
Perhaps i misunderstood your post i quoted, but you said the clock does not stay at full speed unless you increase the power limit when under load?
If you can show me a video of what you mean when idle that would be helpful. I can do a little more investigation to see if this is a bug or expected behaviour. Some clock fluctuation is to be expected as Windows uses the GPU, even when the system is seemingly idle or not much is happening.
That is normal for GPU usage to fluctuate that happens on my AMD GPUs. If you believe that is causing stuttering then download MSI AB and enable unified GPU usage monitoring. If you stop seeing stuttering after making this change then perhaps it is related.
Edit, The fluctuations i was talking about was the Load % that i see in GPU-Z
Sounds like an issue with GPU-Z, try MSI AB.
FRTC is handy if Vsync is not working or is buggy, as it can be in some games. If Vsnc works well then i just use FreeSync and Vsync together, otherwise I'll use FRTC to cap my FPS at 1 below the max FreeSync range.
Vsync works well in GTA v so I'd just use that. I've had a mixed experience using Rivatuner for FPS caps, i find sometimes it interferes with FreeSync and causes tearing. There is little need for Rivatuner when you have FRTC.
I've had no negative experiences using FRTC with FreeSync, so i disagree with Roberts comment on this. Perhaps he knows a technical reason why which i am not aware of but based on feel, i notice no negatives to using FreeSync+FRTC vs FreeeSync+Vsync.

I see a red logo in the sky, it looks like the Matsignal, someone is in trouble!!. They need Matman ASAP.
For you AMDMatt if you can assisthttps://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18752879.
Sounds like a faulty GPU.
Yes, we're no longer bundling the software with our drivers. However you can still download it here > http://raptr.com/amd.
@AMDMatt.. So when i run DayZ in borderless window mode i get this crazy stuttering, in full screen its totally smooth and i have no issues at all.
Is this a game or driver issue? Reason i ask is because the way i have fixed the borderless stuttering is by installing RadeonPro and forcing Dynamic Vsync which has got rid of the stuttering, it is now as smooth as full screen and was worth all the hours i put into finding a fix
Are we ever going to get to get Dynamic Vsync in the Crimson settings as an option? Also would a Freesync monitor fix this issue? Is that the reason for no Dynamic Vsync in the driver.. to make us buy a Freesync monitor?
Isnt the Nvidia equivalent to Dynamic Vsync called Adaptive Vsync which they have in their control panel?
Anywayborderless mode is best for streamers as tabbing in and out of full screen takes a few seconds to do and im not even gona start talking about how OBS/Studio has a black screen if trying to use Antialiasing in full screen with game capture, only way around it is in borderless with window capture.
Also, are the DayZ Devs working with you guys on driver optimisations yet?
Cheers
I cannot talk about any features or software we have not officially announced yet. Wait and see.
And yes we work with lots of developers.
I've had it a couple of times as well, I would expect more patches to follow soon.
It's usually CPU/System memory related, but i have seen a couple of occasions where it's been GPU/Driver related.
Hows nash got it on a Fury then ?
It's a bug, i have it with my Pro Duo's. We're on it.
Disable notifications (Radeon Settings > Preferences) as a temp fix to stop the message.
I've already relayed some of the most common requests for new features, but if you have any contributions here would be a good place to post them.
Can you show me a screenshot of what you mean & which driver are you using?
