These “long idle situations” are determined by Windows which is programmed to shut off your display after a preset amount of time (you can access it by going into the Display Power Options and choosing when Windows can turn off your display) in order to optimize full system efficiency. AMD’s driver will detect this and put the graphics card into a suspended sleep mode by shutting off the fan and powering down non-essential onboard components. It will then wake back up the moment Windows detects an input and activates the display again. " oh my, no gpu usage while Windows has shut off your display after time out. there will not be a race if that happens. but it will be twice as fast as a 6970 in the DP bench mark (page 22) so twice as fast but will turn off most of the time.
