It's unclear if you performed any uninstall or reinstall of drivers during the card swap. Even with both being Nvidia, it's recommended to perform a clean install each time you switch. If this is the situation, reinstall the 3060 Ti, remove the drivers, and test the 4070. You could also try booting in safe mode with DDU and then restarting. Possibly the card failed completely.

Sure thing, and good to know the card isn't stuck.
