Gigabyte 4070 Ti Drivers

[Crystle Rike]

YeahI had to manually download and install the .deb files from that ppa for it to realize it can instead fetch them from the ppa automatically, when I tried installing automatically just from the ppa it kept trying to install the cuda repo drivers instead which are outdated and still on 530.30.02 lol

I can see the fan running for 2 out of 8 GPUs, but not for the other 6. I set the fan control correctly, but the fans are just not working for the 6 GPUs. Mine is PNY VERTO Dual RTX 4070s. I reordered the position, but 6 out of 8 GPUs are not working. I tested it on different 4 GPUs, and it always works up to 2 fans.

I replaced my RTX 3080 this week with a 4070 Ti Super. While my frame rates more than doubled in MSFS, in IL2 I am seeing the opposite problem - my frame rates were cut in half. I would always run IL2 with the 3080 at max settings, including 8x MSAA, so I figured I would do the same with the 4070 since my frames with the old card were in the 70s.

I've gone into the motherboard BIOS and changed the PCIe settings from Auto to Gen 4, but that changed nothing. Before that I also did a full driver wipe and reinstall. Finally, I ran HWiNFO64 and didn't notice any problems there. So, is there something else I can do?

Yes, I've tried different drivers, but with the card being so new one can only go back to about early January before the Nvidia search results page says the drivers are incompatible with the 4070 Ti Super.

You can check cores utilization online (in game)in monitoring app like MSI afterburner. Most games do split workload but main game thread is running on one core, draw thread can be also separated, as audio and animations, unfortunately most busy (game thread) is running on one core - hence more GHz and better IPC do resulut in better performance overall. Most cores are not occupied. In this days, in most cases CPU is bottlenecking the GPU. People do have strong GPUs but still playing at 1080p. So GPU is waiting for CPU to finish to output a frame.

I recently upgraded my GPU from an NVIDIA GeForce 1080 TI to a 4080. This new setup worked for maybe a week before the problems started. First, I was unable to enable HDR, but Game Mode was working. A day or so later, Game Mode also stopped working. I can't enable input signal plus either. Doing any of these things causes the TV to immediately lose signal to the PC. This is at 4K/60hz.

I tried playing around with resolution settings, using a different 2.0 cable, etc., but nothing works. I can still watch TV on my PC as long as I don't put it into Game Mode or enable input signal plus. I am waiting for a 48gbps cable to see if that maybe solves the problem, but I've seen a lot of threads about this kind of issue with the 3000-series cards and absolutely nothing that indicates Samsung has solved it.

Uninstalled the old drivers with ddu, swapped the card for a 4070ti, installed new drivers and at first it would only do 4k at 60 hz in game mode. none of the other resolutions worked. after uninstalling and reinstalling driver again, and fumbling with resolutions it wouldnt do game mode at all in any resolution.

If you're still having problems with the new cable, definitely try plugging into the HDMI ARC port instead of the regular HDMI ports. That's the only way I was able to get mine to work. It still messes up pretty frequently and it takes up the ***** soundbar port, but it's usable.

I have simillar problem, Gigabyte RTX 4070 Gaming OC, im able to do PC mode in nvidia control panel 2560x1440 @120Hz with hdr vrr working just fine, but im not able to go from 8bit color depth to 10bit (TV QE55QN95A) 10bit should be supported by this TV and was working just fine with my previous graphics card RTX 2070 Super, any sugestions how to solve this ?

When i switch from 8 to 10bit -> no signal input, tried all ports including eArc solution, not working, switched cable even knowing the one im using is 8k HDMI 2.1 certified, same result... tried all 3 different drivers, no luck

The problem isn't really solved, but I managed to find a workaround by plugging the PC in to the HDMI ARC slot on the TV. For some reason, that kind of works. It still messes up constantly, though. Sometimes it forgets how to detect the PC, sometimes it locks my refresh rate to 60hz for no reason, and other times the TV loses signal when I change to game mode.

This is the best I was able to do, though. Considering how long this problem has been happening, it doesn't look like Samsung intends to ever do anything about it. My TV updated a week or two ago, but this only made the problem slightly worse.

When I tell people that my GPU of choice is a custom 16GB Intel Arc A770 card by Acer, they're usually a bit surprised. It's like they think "You're a hardware editor, surely you know better than to use a graphics card not made by Nvidia".

Honestly, that's exactly why I do use it. Nvidia and AMD may have a rivalry in the best graphics card scene, but Nvidia still holds a massive majority of the market in the palm of its hand. While it undoubtedly produces better software, impressive ray tracing support, and more robust architecture overall, it also has no problem with hiking up its prices to reflect all of that.

As you'll know if you check out my Acer Predator BiFrost Intel Arc A770 review, it's no slouch. In truth, I absolutely adore this graphics card. I play games pretty much exclusively at 4K, and the A770 has no problems at all producing well over 60fps in all of them. Most recently, I've been playing Alan Wake 2, and although I don't play with maxed-out settings, it very comfortably gets over 60fps despite handling all of Remedy's technically demanding visual effects.

Its 16GB of VRAM gives it a lot of room to gallop at 4K, even if its kryptonite is turning Ray Tracing on, and it doesn't have any DLSS 3.0 frame generation to speak of. Beyond being a supporter of value, the A770 just is a brilliant graphics card for gaming. It's a real shame that it isn't found in more of the best gaming PCs.

With all of that said, Intel's game-on driver updates continually make me want to jam a fork in my eye, give it a good swirl, and promptly pull it back out. Update after update, there's simultaneously better performance unlocked in the games I play, but also the most frustrating bugs imaginable.

The problems seem to stem from the fact that despite being an Intel-bred GPU, the brand has said in forums and its messaging that people with the Acer Predator BiFrost variant should download and use drivers from Acer. To me, this is utterly bizarre, and neither I nor my fellow hardware editor Phil have heard of another board partner card needing its own bespoke drivers. In simple terms, even if you get a PNY GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, you still use Nvidia GeForce drivers for it.

Phil and I have come up with a working theory, however. This may be due to the fact that custom Intel Arc cards don't natively output an HDMI 2.1 signal, as reported by PCGamer a while back. While they do officially support HDMI 2.1, they use a PCON (a protocol converter inside the board) to turn a DisplayPort signal into HDMI 2.1.

Frustratingly, Acer has its own download page for drivers which says "It is important to keep your graphics card drivers and software up to date", but the last driver update it offers is from late October. In honesty, Acer's own drivers haven't been the best anyway, with one in particular causing abnormal fan speeds. Anyone wanting A770 driver support for the latest games can't rely on now months-old patches, and from lurking around in A770 forums, it doesn't seem like anyone does.

I, myself have encountered a slew of these which continue to persist patch after patch. Going off of our HDMI conversion theory, a lot of these actually could be explained by linking back to syncing issues. In simple terms, they suggest that there's an issue with the way the on-board PCON is handling signals.

For starters, I get the most irritating HDMI flicker where occasionally on booting up my PC or launching a game, the display from the HDMI side will start strobing at me, just about giving me a migraine. Sometimes, this flicker is actually a welcome sign, because the alternative is the display just blacking out completely.

Then, there are the pesky annoyances with the driver updates themselves. For starters, there are multiple Intel pages online where you can download the latest updates. Intel Driver & Support Assistant and Intel Arc Control are two bits of companion software that are supposed to download with each update, giving you a central and official way to download each new patch. Annoyingly, they don't always install with the updates as they're supposed to, and since there's no way to separately download and install the Control app, you can be left with no way to access basic features.

Even if you do download and install drivers through the Control app, it often leaves remnants of the former patches in your PC's storage, which can seriously impact performance in-game. I've experienced faulty textures and reflections, games straight-up not running, and sometimes up to 30fps drops compared with previous updates. In fairness, it's always recommended that you remove all previous GPU driver versions when updating them, but in testing plenty of graphics cards in the last year, I've never faced issues like I have with this A770.

For updates to this card, I do a fully secure boot into safe mode, open DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and do a full clean. This makes the whole process a total faff, but it is what Intel advises when any of these issues have been reported online.

There are more general-use issues too, because sometimes when using my Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra webcam in a Google Meet, my displays will black out for no reason, before returning about 7 seconds later. Editing video is impossible for me at the moment too, because no matter the settings I change, Adobe Premiere Pro won't preview any footage as anything more than solid green blocks. In previous driver updates my PC has even frozen and crashed when I've tried to export simple videos.
