What is your voltage on the overclock and what did you use to overclock it?
Also what is your usage at idle? Do the spikes still happen when the GPU is idle. I would check processes running in the background you might have a bitcoin miner running that is using the GPU.
I am not running anything like that in the background. However, from time to time, the usage does spike to 48% even at idle. As a matter of fact, it is doing it right now. I do have HWinfo64 and Afterburner both monitoring at the same time, maybe they conflict? However, as I've stated this has not happen in other games.

Try and disable ULPS and reboot and see what happens?

Have you raised the power limiter to +20%?

Upon doing some research, it seems that I have to disable it via registry? Nah, don't wanna mess with my system registry.

GPU load is always erratic in Fallout 3 & FNV, it's the crappy engine.
Idle spikes could be due to HW acceleration turned on in browser.....

Good to know. Thanks!
But what I want to know is if there is any harm in playing a game when the GPU load is erratic.

Your card doesn't happen to have 1.25v vcore does it?

Nope, vcore at 1.15v. When playing New Vegas gpu core temp stays around mid 50s and VRM temp at about 62c.

Thanks.
I also want to ask what are somethings I should be aware of that may do harm to the graphics card? Besides high temp and voltage?

But you have an AMD card anyways so I wouldn't worry much about him ever getting near that card.

@driedupfish: it's understandable that GPU clocks drops down because game places very small load on GPU.
Then due to lower clocks utilization percentage is high enough to bump up.
I would not worry unless you get microstutter from that.
One of solutions would be give such game change to place more load on GPU (maximum antialiasing, aniso, ...)
Use RadeonPro where you can get some additional load.
Your issue gets worse with VSync because it limits number of rendered frames per second therefore decreasing GPU load.
