So, I recently upgraded my GPU from a 3060 Ti to a 5070 Ti, and ever since, I've been facing serious stuttering and screen freezing issues. I tried reinstalling the GPU and even reset my PC, but nothing seems to work. To troubleshoot, I put my old GPU back in, and everything ran perfectly again. I took it to a technician, who suggested that my power supply might be the culprit and recommended I switch to an 850-1000W PSU. Has anyone else run into this issue? Did you have to upgrade your PSU too? For context, my specs are: CPU - i5-12600K, RAM - 16x1 3200 DDR4, GPU - 5070 Ti, NVMe - Samsung 980 Pro 1TB, PSU - CoolerMaster Masterwatt 750 Bronze.

Another option is to use DDU in safe mode to uninstall the previous GPU drivers. If all else fails, a fresh install of Windows might be worth considering.
What games are you playing, and at what resolution? If your PSU is underpowered, you usually see your system shut down completely. It might be more of a CPU bottleneck, especially if you're playing CPU-heavy games at 1080p.
Have you thought about undervolting your GPU? It might stabilize your system without needing to upgrade your PSU. Just check if there are any risks involved first!
Have you tried doing a clean reinstall of your GPU driver since upgrading to the 5070 Ti? Sometimes, driver issues can cause stuttering problems.
