I recently installed a 9070 graphics card in my computer, and since then, I'm experiencing significant performance issues. My PC is crashing after a fresh install of Windows 11, and I'm getting very low FPS in games. Even basic tasks like web browsing are painfully slow. Is there anything I can do to resolve this?
Just yesterday, I used Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) and reinstalled the graphics drivers, plus I disabled the integrated graphics in the BIOS. For a while, everything seemed fine, but this morning when I tried to play Battlefield 6, the performance dropped dramatically again. My games are running poorly, and even my Windows interface is lagging severely. It's frustrating to see the letters lag as I type, and my mouse cursor is dragging around the screen. What can I do to fix this?

Make sure you're using the DisplayPort or HDMI connection directly from the GPU, not from the motherboard. Sometimes performance issues can stem from a weak CPU bottleneck as well. What's your CPU usage looking like in the task manager?
Did you run DDU in safe mode? It's crucial to do so for a complete cleanup of previous drivers before reinstalling.
Yes, I did run it in safe mode.
It's essential to know that sometimes BIOS changes can mess with your system's performance. Make sure you have backups of your data before tweaking anything further. Also, double-check your settings after any adjustments. If you're having persistent issues, checking our FAQ for troubleshooting steps could be a good start!
I'm using a DP cable from the GPU to my monitor. As for CPU usage, it's at 23% with a speed of 4.17GHz, RAM is at 22%, disk NVMe at 3%, and GPU utilization is at 13%.
