    Hello friends. I recently noticed that My 270x is running on 90% load all the time. I tried MSI Ab and GPU Z to recheck stats and both show the same stats.
    I am sitting idle on desktop with no app running in the background.

    Interesting part is, the temps are normal and games run fine.
    Warranty claiming is a domestic issue in the local market so i just hope there is nothing serious.

    How can i else check/test to be sure. I don't wanna screw up the operational condition.

    Thanks.:)
    ---------------------------------
    Edit: Rebooting solved the issue. I don't know if its gonna come back again of if its a dead sensor or if its the GPU dying.
    I am on win 8.1 with 1080p HDMI interface with 100 dpi setting.
    Here is the screen shot:

    Good it's sorted but be careful, a high gpu load can point to a bitcoin miner virus.
