I think this has been happening since I installed Crimson. I've checked several games, added voltage, tried to overclock, tried to use a profile for a game, disabled all the AMD overrides (tessellation, AA, smart cache, target FPS, etc.), tried different in-game settings... 300MHz GPU in any case. I have the fan set to a fixed speed (automatic made no difference), temps are very comfortable, under 30C in game.

My card is a Sapphire R9 390 Nitro.

Any ideas?

*edit - I might not be the only one with this issue.

Reinstalled Catalyst and have much better FPS, GPU clocks are bouncing a bit (as I think is designed based on load) but going over 1000MHz, so I think that fixed it. Will give Crimson another try in a revision or two.

Are you running Trixx? I have that problem with my Fury when I try to run the newest version.

I once had same problem of yours, and then I reverted back to Crimson 17.9.1 and everything seems fine. My card is R7 360 that supposed to be the smaller version of yours.

You cannot use Trixx. Sapphire hasn't updated it with the new power management SDK that works with newer drivers. It causes the issue you are seeing.
