Unfortunately, Windows Update says that I'm up to date... That would be a nice solution. Thank you for your reply.

I don't think that my power supply is sold by EVGA anymore, but it's extremely similar to this, here's the product on the page I bought it. Also, according to MSI, my card, the MSI RTX 2070S Gaming Trio (8GB), has a power consumption of 215W. 215W is a substantial amount... Thank you for your reply.

I don't have another full system to test the card with, but I do have the old card so I could swap them and check the boot speeds. While troubleshooting I did end up booting on integrated graphics alone and it wasn't much of an improvement. I'll try with the other card tomorrow afternoon to see if it helps. The card does otherwise work perfectly once I'm booted though. Very satisfied with the frames!

Problem: I recently upgraded my Graphics Card to an RTX 2070 Super, and I'm having extremely long boot times. To be clear, my motherboard posts in a matter of seconds, but Windows 10 takes a long time to boot (it just keeps playing the loading animation). I've reinstalled Windows 10, I have the newest Nvidia drivers and my system is otherwise fine when operating, with no issues under full load. Sometimes it takes around 10 minutes, sometimes 5 minutes, and sometimes even less. Before this upgrade, this PC consistently booted in just a few seconds. The only reason that I can think of that could be the issue in some way is my power supply, as it's only a 500W 80+ Bronze, which is cutting it close watt-wise for my system. I'll probably upgrade my PSU to a 650W or 750W fully modular one, but for the moment I'd enjoy not having to wait so long on every boot. Specs: CPU: Intel i7-8700k (Stock speeds), Cooled via AiO Motherboard: MSI Z370 Gaming Plus RAM: 4 x 4GB DDR4 2133 HyperX Fury, Overclocked to 2600Mhz PSU: EVGA 500W Bronze 80+ Storage: SATA M.2 SSD 128GB, SATA 2.5" SSD 500GB, 2 x 3.5" HDDs (500GB, 1TB) Assorted RGB light strips with controller. 3 x 120mm case fans. I've checked the performance of the PC very recently, after this issue started, and all components are behaving as expected, or better. I can provide lots more information if needed. Thank you for reading this.
