GPU Swap Issue
GPU Swap Issue
You're experiencing issues switching GPUs but not with the older one. This could be due to driver conflicts, power management settings, or compatibility problems. Check drivers, system settings, and ensure the new GPU is properly recognized.
Which GPU are you attempting to utilize? Are your details current with your profile?
What is the power source for the system? Is the 970 compatible with it? It might be a power problem or a board compatibility issue. Not clear yet.
Does the motherboard accept UEFI settings? The A4000 may lack support for older BIOS versions. It seems unlikely it handles more than 4G decoding, though this could mean a VRAM limit or a complete boot failure. Recent discussions on Reddit suggest ACPI 2.0 must be activated for Turing cards to function on X58, possibly indicating Ampere faces similar challenges.
