I've fixed every issue. It was driver related. The new drivers are shit, reverted back to 17.7.1 and everything is smooth, every issue on every game is fixed.

All amd cards have the usage fluctuation "problem", which is not really a problem but a bug on the way monitoring programs read the gpu usage on amd cards, I'd guess your errors and crashes are caused by something else.

The low clocks at idle is completely normal. Dis you remove the old drivers using ddu?Are you using the latest version of windows?

I am, yeah. I've used DDU several times as well. I've been getting odd errors since I got the 570, but it's stable and survives synthetic tests just fine. It doesn't play nice with games that my 1050Ti did (DOOM, Crysis 3, Shadow of War)

Did you update your windows by any chance? I started getting random bluescreens after changing to a r9 380 just when the last windows update came out

Yeah, admittedly I have been having odd issues since I updated to Fall Creators. I updated a few weeks before I got my new GPU.

I'm aware that CCC is discontinued but I don't have a power saving option in my crimson software.

There should be a power saving option. It's "power efficiency" in global settings.

It's not there. I've seen screenshots of it in other peoples software but the closes thing I have is Radeon Chill. I'm on the latest software as well.

Then something is wrong. What's especially weird is that even DDU doesn't help.

You could try to set the highest p-state your maximum and minimum p-state in wattman.
