I recently installed a Gigabyte 9060 XT graphics card, and everything seemed to go well during the installation. However, I notice that when I turn my PC on and off, there's a single white light that blinks by the 8-pin connector on the GPU. Everything is functioning properly: I'm getting about 60 more fps in Rainbow Six than I did with my previous RX 7600, but I'm curious if I should be seeing even better performance considering I have a Ryzen 5 7600 CPU. What's the deal with that blinking light, and am I getting the expected performance?

That blinking white light on your GPU just indicates that it’s receiving power, so no worries there! If you're looking to stop it from blinking when you power off, check Gigabyte's software for any settings to disable it, but if you don't find anything, it's usually nothing to be concerned about. As for performance, what resolution are you playing at? If you’re at 1080p with Vsync off, you should be getting solid frames, but there might be more juice to squeeze out depending on your settings!
Glad to hear your new card is boosting your fps! The blinking is pretty normal, especially if it lights up when you turn off your PC too. Just a signal from the card. With 1080p and Vsync off, you're in a good spot, but to get the most out of that GPU, consider tweaking in-game settings to see how much more you can get out of it. Have you tried adjusting any graphics settings yet?
