I own an existing setup with these details: an MSI B450F gaming Ryzen 9 3950X, 96GB RAM, Corsair CX750M, and everything worked perfectly before. Recently I added an EVGA 980Ti. Now the system feels very unstable—graphics performance drops significantly. Benchmarks once hit 1-10 FPS. With the 980Ti it was smooth at 144 FPS in Black Ops 3, 160-170 FPS in Starcraft 2 (I don’t play modern games). The only changes were the GPU and drivers are current (fresh install on NVIDIA). I tried a power cycle, re-seated the card, and even reinstalled it, which restored normal performance.

Because the RTX 4070 is a low-end graphics card and the GTX 980 Ti remains superior, the situation is just a joke. For a clean setup, use DDU to reset drivers and install the latest verified GPU drivers. Jayz Two Cents offers a tutorial on DDU in his YouTube video.

I'm starting with a clean Windows setup. Your comment didn't prompt me to use DDU. I'll let you know if it helps, which might fix any driver problems.

You might want to test the 4070 on another machine to check for identical issues; if they occur, it suggests a problem with that GPU. If you don’t have another PC, consider borrowing one from a friend. Keep in mind your warranty remains valid. Avoid actions that could make the seller responsible and void the warranty.
