Gpu help

[ehaan]

ive gotten a new gpu 4070 12GB (OC Aero) upgrading from a 1070 8GB (Founders Edition)

 

when i installed it, it was very choppy and not smooth 6-7fps (unplayable/unusable) 

 

im not sure what the issue is but it was saying that it was only using 42 watts of power

 

im sure i got the 12pin connecture secured into the card, i have a suspicion it may be my riser cable.

 

Below ive listen my parts

 

Ryzen 9 5900x

 

G-Skill 64GB (32x2) 3600mhz

 

ASUS Prime B550

 

EVGA 1000GQ

 

Hyte Y60

 

NZXT Kraken 240mm

 

If anyone else faced this issue or knows a workaround please let me know.

Unlikely, usually if the riser is gonna cause issues it's going to be with the system even turning on, not with performance regressions like you're experiencing. Still, if you want to test that theory, set the primary PCIe slot to Gen 3 rather than Gen 4 like it should default to. 

 

My first thought would be a driver issue of some sort, so try running DDU in safe mode and reinstalling the drivers as that should hopefully fix it.

Did you plug the cable into the GPU, and not the motherboard?

Better check in GPU-Z the max PCIE connection speed being used by the GPU (I am not referring to the GPU's reported PCIE version support)
