Hi, I seem to have the problem that the nitrosence software isn't displaying the GPU usage while I know for sure that it's being used. I tried to reinstall the nitro snce software but that didnt work. Has anyone encountered this problem too? or maybe even have a fix or this?

    ...If you have the AMD model AN515-42, You have 2 GPU's and Nitrosense does not monitor the dedicated Vega 8 GPU only the RX560x discrete GPU. To have it monitor you need to import and launch your games from within the AMD Adrenalin Control Center 

    First click the Updates tab at the bottom left and make sure your graphics drivers are updated to 19.9.2  or higher and click express upgrade



    Make sure High Performance is selected under Power Plan in Nitrosense when on AC



    After that make sure your RX560x is selected in Switchable Graphics for your games and your games are set on High Performance, you must import your games .exe using the Browse tab in pic below



    Lastly to run your game on the RX560x you must launch the game from inside the Radeon Adrenalin Control Center. Click the gaming tab then if your game is not there you will need to add your game's .exe by using the ADD button on the right and navigating to your games .exe file, then click the drop down box for your game then click launch. The game will now launch using the RX560x and it will be monitored in Nitrosense

    Please click YES if I answered your question

    I should have clarified this first:

    I have a AK515-52-50KS
    Its the i5 8300h and GTX 1050 option.

    The card is being used because in task manager it was about 80% used while i was testing if it really was on. so this is a issue with nitro sense I think
