I just upgraded from a 4070 to a 5070 Ti GPU, and I'm experiencing a strange issue. When I first boot my PC, I see the usual Asus Tuf BIOS screen, followed by the Windows splash screen. After that, the screen flickers slightly and goes black. The only way I can temporarily fix this is by unplugging the HDMI cable and plugging it back in. Once I do that, everything works perfectly fine, and I've tested the card with several games like CP2077 and EFT with no performance issues whatsoever. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Should I consider RMAing the card, or is there something else I can try first? I didn't have this problem with my old 4070. For reference, here are my specs: 13600k, Tuf Z790 Mobo, Tuf 5070 Ti OC, Corsair 32GB DDR4 3200, Corsair RM750 PSU.

I recommend doing a clean install of your GPU drivers. Sometimes when you upgrade graphics cards, leftover drivers can cause conflicts. It's worth trying to see if that helps.
Yeah, I've had three Nvidia cards in this machine, and it's never done this before. I suppose my luck has finally run out. I'll use DDU this weekend for a clean install and see if that fixes it. Thanks!
