2070 S growing pains

Just upgraded from a GTX1080 FE to an RTX 2070S FE, and hoping for a glitch-free upgrade experience was apparently too much to ask for.

Im getting all kinds of small isolated issues with the graphics, including a nasty screen tear at one point on my G-Sync monitor ?!?

My cursor disappears, the screen edges get confused, etc...

Everything comes back to Jesus after a reset, but I shouldnt have to reset my system so often... wondering if anyone else has had issues with the super series...

Did you do a clean install of the drivers? That'd be the most likely issue when swapping out GPUs.

Considering the current WHQL drivers support all the way back to the 600 series, I think a better question is if OP updated his drivers.

drivers

The driver is the same however registry entries and alike are based on your GPU specifically, DDU in safe mode when changing GPU architecture is always advisable (pascal to turing) even if the driver is "the same"

I use to to that route, but anymore I just install the drivers over using the clean install checkbox which is more or less suppose to do the same thing.

My drivers were completely updated, as far as the "game-ready drivers"
The solve for me was switching over to NVidias "Studio Driver" for a while and I think I'm now back on the GR Drivers in a new version...

Seeing a LOT less bugs, but certain games like Wolftenstein Young Blood (which is funny because it came with the RTX card) are still running like trash...

It may be on my end, going to try wiping the games that arent running right completely and fresh installs of those..

This was another thought I had, and used CC cleaner to see if there were any registry hiccups around the NVidia architecture or anything GPU related, and some things did come up and were cleared... I cant say for sure performance got better, but I can say I've seen no issues since, So I'd hazard a guess that it helped.
