Hey everyone! I recently upgraded my graphics card from a 2070 to a 9070 XT, but I've been running into issues where a few games keep crashing. I've done a fresh install of Windows 11 and have the latest drivers installed. I initially had some tweaks and settings adjusted, but I've reset everything to stock and am still experiencing crashes.
The games that are causing problems right now are Battlefield 6, Cyberpunk, Wuchang, and Monster Hunter Wilds. Everything else seems to be running smoothly.
I'm still within the return period for the GPU, so that's an option, but I'd really like to see if there's a way to fix this first.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Oh, and I tried using DDU and rolled back to older drivers (25.9.1) and even manually set the PCIe settings, but I still crashed during a game of Battlefield 6. I'm getting pretty frustrated with this GPU!

So, you upgraded from a 2070 to a 9070 XT? Did you do a clean uninstallation of the old Nvidia drivers? That's usually essential when switching brands.
How's your GPU connected to the power supply? Are you using two separate PCIe cables? That can sometimes make a difference in stability.
Good question! I have the 9070 XT Nitro, and it’s connected with the 12V-2x6 connector. I actually upgraded my PSU from 850W to 1000W just in case, and I also turned off rebar, but no luck so far.
Yes, I did a fresh install of Windows 11, so that should have taken care of the drivers.
