I recently swapped my GTX 1080 for an RTX 5060 Ti, but ever since then, my computer has been running significantly slower. I've done a clean driver installation using DDU and even updated my BIOS, yet I still feel like there could be some compatibility issues or bottlenecks I'm overlooking. It seems like my CPU might be causing a bottleneck, but from what I've read, my Intel Core i7 8700K should be fine for this GPU. Here's my setup for reference:
- CPU: Intel Core i7 8700K
- GPU: Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 16GB
- Motherboard: MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon AC
- RAM: 2x Corsair 16GB DDR4
- PSU: Corsair RM750x

I get where you're coming from! Booting delays and stuttering when alt-tabbing point to some underlying problems. If your games are unstable, maybe check your temperatures or monitor the GPU and CPU usage during plays. It’s also worth checking if any background applications are hogging resources.
The RTX 5060 Ti should definitely outperform the 1080, so it’s strange you’re facing slowdowns. The recent driver updates from NVIDIA have increased some overhead, but your i7 8700K shouldn’t be the issue. Can you explain what "much slower" means in more detail?
