Has anyone figured out the low GPU usage issue yet?

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.

Thanks for the information, i will consider to downgrade to 12.8 drivers, also will this downgrading also reduce the CPU usage? cause GPU folding take me one entire core so my CPU is folding with only 3 core.

Edit: well i found out that is does not reduce CPU load but at least i get 2k more PPD than previously with the 2.7 SDK.

Proudction FAH WUs for AMD GPUs will use a full CPU core.
