I'm feeling really let down by my RX 9070 XT graphics card. The gaming experience has been pretty awful; the quality seems bad and some games just won't launch at all, like Forza 5 and Watch Dogs 2. I really want to enjoy this card, but at this point, a 5070 non-Ti might be a better option for me. I plan to send the card in for checks this weekend to see if it's a faulty unit, but from what I've read, it sounds like this might just be what the card is like—just YouTube hype, really. Am I mistaken, or is there a way to address these issues?

Definitely provide specific details like your card model and the specs of your motherboard and power supply. Knowing that you have an RX 9070 XT with a Gigabyte PSU helps. Sometimes the PSU needs to be robust enough for these cards, especially if you're pushing them hard.
If games aren't starting, check if your monitor is connected to the GPU instead of the motherboard. It sounds basic, but it’s a common mistake. Also, you might want to check your driver installation again, even if it's a new PC. Can also try lowering settings to see if performance improves.
Sounds like a rough start! Have you tried a fresh install of Windows? That can often help clear up software issues. If you haven’t, it could be worth uninstalling any old GPU drivers completely before reinstalling. Just a thought!
You're not alone in feeling disappointed—many users report issues with the 9070 XT initially. It could be a setup issue, or something off with the specific card. Have you used Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to completely clear traces of previous drivers? It's usually a good step to ensure a clean slate for installation.
