No problem, and glad to hear the card is not bricked :)

Not sure if you did this, but since it wasn't mentioned: Did you uninstall / install drivers at all between switching cards? Even if they're both Nvidia, you should clean install the drivers each time you switch. If that's the case, pop the 3060 Ti back in, uninstall drivers and try the 4070...

Strange preview reviews aka, unabashed anti-consumerism. Nvidia have gone full Robber Baron with this crap, it's ridiculous.

Were you limited to that cooler due to size constraints? If not there are much better (and cheaper) options with 120mm even 140mm HSFs. The U9S isn't really sufficient for your CPU, that's the problem. Also sounds like the stock AIO isn't either if your temps were always that high.

Turn REBAR back on, it will make a difference in performance w Nvidia just the same. Interesting with the -30 offset, the GPU should not impact its stability, but if all is fine now that's a bonus. As for the RAM, it might be because you're using all 4x DIMMs. Tweaking memory tends to be easier...

Glad to hear that resolved things for the most part. Yeah when you switch between Nvidia/AMD/Intel it's necessary or things can get janky fast. Seems about right with usage, though it really depends on the game so hard to say. Nvidia has had driver issues lately, so it's possible that's a...

Run DDU in safe mode, remove everything from AMD and Nvidia. Then reboot and do a clean install of the drivers for your new card.

I'd stick with the 4070 Ti Super if it were me, it's not that much of a bump to justify upgrading.

Well if you want to keep things to a minumum the 5700X3D option is a pretty quick swap. You could sell off your 5800X to offset the cost a bit, and even buy used as well if it saves you a few bucks. Definitely rerun DDU in safe mode though and nuke everything before you reinstall, that should help.

DDU in safemode is a must, redo as above first if it wasn't done as such. I also think you're right about the bottleneck OP. If it were 4K you'd have less of one, but the AM4 X3Ds can simply handle more firepower vs non (~4090). Swap it out for a 5700X3D and you'll be good (or a new set of...

Rage Against The Machine - Live at Finsbury Park, London 2010. The backstory is cool (intro) and the concert was free - 10/10 energy, 80K just going nuts.

Run DDU in safe mode, reboot and try again. Also that hardware has more than put in its time, if something is dead, give it a 21 gun salute.

This really boils down to two things: sources and facts. Using and citing sources are taught because they're important. They are for intellectual credit yes, but also critical for checking facts. Without that, and without basing discussion in facts, you are left with an informational void...

If by a certain group of haters you mean most of America now, then yeah. The approval #s are public and so are the sales figures for Tesla. It's all out in the open.

I have genuinely tried to apply logic to this and just can't. Especially when economists and business leaders are completely on the other side of the fence. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-liberation-day-tariffs-reactions-commentators-2025-4
