9070 xt crashing need help
Posted by Open_Map_2540@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 8 comments
I upgraded from a 3060 recently to a 9070 xt a few days ago and it just hasn't been going well.
So far in my troubleshooting I have: removed all overclocks, forced pcie gen, reseated gpu, reinstalled drivers, disabling antilag, tried older drivers, tried running with rebar on/off and I even got a new psu.
The games I am crashing in are cyberpunk 2077 and battlefield 6 but some other games like valorant seem to be fine.
It is a 9070 xt red devil paired with a 1000w power supply, 9800x3d, and 32gb of ddr5 which I had overclocked prior but have turned to stock in order to see if it helps(although it was running fine with my 3060 so I don't think it is an issue)
Any help or ideas would be appreciated I feel like I have already tried all the basic troubleshooting stuff.

Return it and buy an Nvidia card man, that's all I can say.

If you can return it, do so immediately and let it be someone else's problem.
If not, then try testing it out on another PC like your friend's or a repair shop. It might be faulty.
Also, what do you mean by crash? The GPU just stops working and you get a black screen (like when you overclocked too much) or just the game crashing to desktop?

Have you removed the old Nvidia drivers with the help of DDU?

yeah I even wiped windows fully and reinstalled

Have you watched your temps in the games you are crashing ? You could do a furmark benchmark and see how the temperatures are.
Also as you crash in Cyberpunk: make sure you have pathtracing disabled. It doesn't work with the 9000 series and can lead to problems.

Try turning your GPU slot from PCI-E 5.0 to PCI-E 4.0. My setup was unhappy at 5.0 but is perfectly fine at 4.0, and I don't plan to troubleshoot any further because the performance difference between PCI-E 5.0 x16 and 4.0 x16 is margin-of-error.

Yeah I have tried all the pcie gens possible nothing seems to work.
I highly doubt that anything else in my system is unstable because I have tested a week of Karhu and OCCT.
