Old Afterburner settings, new GPU

TechNoob09
Go to solution Solved by C2dan88,

Uninstall afterburner in safe mode.

I just bought a 3070 and unfortunately forgot to disable/uninstall Afterburner. It usually starts after boot up and applies an overclock. 
Will Afterburner detect that it’s a different GPU and not apply the old settings or will this cause issues? 
 

I’m especially worried about the power limit, the current power limit in Afterburner is set to 125% and the new 3070 can only support around 110%.

 

sorry if that’s a dumb question, I’m just a bit scared to damage my components/pc

almost guaranteed it won't apply a OC because it automatically resets when it detects a gpu change 

 

 

However with how buggy stuff is nowadays you never know 

.. 

 

doubt something would happen tho as you usually can't damage a modern gpu with an OC anyway. 

 

worst case it won't boot.... 

 

But again, there shouldn't be an issue.

in my experience, afterburner would reset if it detects a new gpu (old profiles and settings wont be visible, but it'll be available if you change the hardware back)

 

so you'll see it as a clean slate if you change/add/subtract a GPU, assuming you were never in that config before

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately
