Radeon Software doesn't agree with Windows Taskmanager

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though AMD has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

Radeon Software doesn't agree with Windows Taskmanager

Post by Zaominach »

Hey fellow heroes of the fold,

Check out this weird situation whilst my electric desk heater was folding about!
On the screenshot you can see our trusty Windows Taskmanager says that my GPU is doing nutin, but the Radeon Software is saying: Na-ah! Its doing something alright!

Somebody had this situation before?

I also remember my PPD of my GPU were a tad higher when the situation was normal.?

Anyways,

GO TEAM!

Kind regards,
Thomas

This is normal because task manager have filters and your only looking 3D, Copy, Video encode/decode.

If you click that 3D text what have little arrow pointing down (means it have menu) you can select to show Compute 1 and then task manager should agree with radeon control panel.

Also make sure that you get a passkey if you haven't already. While it doesn't let you do any more research than you are already doing, it will give you a huge boost in the points you get. Once you return 10 work units (WU), you'll start getting the quick return bonus (QRB). I would expect that you would start seeing the points per day (PPD) in the several hundred thousand range rather than around one-hundred thousand.
