    This is a very common problem on this Forum and is easily fixed by setting up the AMD Control Center properly. You are gaming on your Dedicated Vega 8 card, in order to use the RX560 x do this

    Please click YES if I have answered your question, thankyou

    First make sure you game with your battery charged to 100% BEFORE gaming and KEEP plugged into power while gaming, Windows MUST be set to High Performance plan, then do this:
    Open your AMD control center 
    First click the Updates tab at the bottom left and make sure your graphics drivers are updated to 19.11.2 or higher and click express upgrade. If you don't have the Adrenalin Control Center download it here
    https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-19-11-2



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



    After that make sure your games are listed under switchable graphics 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 your CPU should be boosting to MAX but only if needed and it will be monitored in Nitrosense

    Please post a screen of Nitrosense taken during your game, thankyou
    and please confirm that you have done ALL of these things

    1. Set Windows power plan to High Performance when on AC
    2. Set Nitrosense to High Performance when on AC
    3. You are gaming with your battery at 100% and plugged into AC
    4. You have updated your AMD Adrenalin drivers to 9.12.1
    5. You have imported your games .exe files under the Gaming tab in Adrenalin and you are launching your games from Adrenalin, see the last screen above

    Then it is idle, if the game is using the Rx560 it will show in Nitrosense
