And if I use clockblocker then the GPU usage cuts in and decreases. This is in Rise of the Tomb Raider. The lowest FPS is when I examine relics???? A still screen???
Looks like we are both in the same boat with 1 paddle!!!I don't have it either 290x.
Does no one actually read the patch notes?
"Power Efficiency Toggle: A new feature introduced in the Radeon Settings Gaming tab for select AMD Radeon 300 series and AMD Radeon Fury X available under "Global Options". This allows the user to disable some power efficiency optimizations."
Pretty clear this option is not available for the 7xxx series or the 2xx series.
What's your point? Were you one of the people asking why it didn't work on their 290 or 7950? No? Then I wasn't talking to you.

Asinine post with asinine reply.
3) Complete re-write of the GPUs power management micro-architecture
· Under “worse case” power virus applications, the 390 and 390X have a similar power envelope to 290X
· Under “typical” gaming loads, power is expected to be lower than 290X while performance is increased”
Isn't the reason the 200/7000 series don't have the Power Efficiency toggle because they weren't effected by the "down-clocking bug" like the 300 series were because the 300 series uses a more aggressive power management?
AMD : The Radeon R9 390 and 390X Aren’t Rebadges – New Power Management uArch, Higher Bandwidth and 8GB vRAM
So toggling the setting to OFF on a R9 390x/390 just basically sets the Power Efficiency to match the 290/290x series default settings....or am i misunderstanding this?
It would explain why the toggle is available for the 300 series and not the 200 series...because it isn't needed for the 200 series.
Not approved for mining! At least with 290.
It's in the main Origin settings. I turned it off, and it stopped the crashing so far.
