To check -
What are the specs of the pc?

#

And what driver do you have installed?

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:12 PM

#

So i have a ryzen 7 5800x with 32gb of ram and I have Nvidia drivers it is an asus graphics card

#

#

#

Whats your PSU, and where is it saying you don’t have a GPU in the slot? Are you using generic drivers or?

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:20 PM

#

Yeah I think just generic I've never really done anything but update my 3060's drivers before this. I have a 750 watt I made sure I head more than the recommended amount just in case

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 9:22 PM

#

cursive thunder Yeah I think just generic I've never really done anything but update my 3060's d...

Okay so, when it’s saying you haven’t got a GPU in the slot, is that through a display output on your GPU?

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:22 PM

#

Yeah

#

It's plugged into the gpu

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 9:22 PM

#

Alright, do you have the nvidia app downloaded?

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:23 PM

#

Yes

#

When I open it there is no game drivers available and I can't go download one from the app

#

It's just studio drivers

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 9:23 PM

#

Alright, so in the drivers tab what does it look like?

#

Can you send a pic

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:27 PM

#

Uh I'd have to reinstall the gpu csn you give me a few minutes?

#

I put my old card back in since I couldn't get the 5070 to work

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 9:28 PM

#

Alright

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:30 PM

#

Ok

#

Almost done

I would try downloading the nvidia app

#

Instead of GeForce experience

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:40 PM

#

Ok gotcha

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 9:40 PM

#

cursive thunder

But this is really the driver you want

#

So either will work, I just recommend the nvidia app because it’s newer

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:41 PM

#

Ok gotcha

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 9:41 PM

#

Now obviously there’s always a chance for the driver to just cause a black screen since all 50 series supported drivers have had issues, but you should be fine, and hopefully it will work

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:42 PM

#

My fps on home windows is like 25-30

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 9:42 PM

#

That’s because you’re currently using the generic driver

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:42 PM

#

Aaaah

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 9:42 PM

#

Not an nvidia one

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:42 PM

#

Ok I understand now

#

I love doing this kinda thing i want to take classes to learn more

#

It's fun

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 9:43 PM

#

Yeah, so as well like I said, nvidia app I recommend, and if at any point you get the black screen bug, just let me know

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:44 PM

#

So it restarted for the Nvidia install still runs at about 25-30 I'm assuming because I still need to download the drivers

#

Oh it already is installing it

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 9:45 PM

#

Yeah

#

Screen should flash black for around 10-30 seconds, then it should come back on and look more normal and feel smoother

#

And then you might need to change your Hz in settings

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:46 PM

#

Yeah I figured I'd have to reset my Hz

#

I'm gonna have to order a gpu support bracket for this monster holy moly

#

Don't want any gpu sag

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

Does yours not come with a bracket? My TUF did

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:49 PM

#

Na it's didn't but I'm going to order one immediately

#

I got an asus

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 9:50 PM

#

So do i

#

Did it come with like a little screwdriver?

#

Looks like this?

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:51 PM

#

Nooo

#

I wish tho that looks cool as fuck

#

Oooh wait nvm it was burried

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 9:52 PM

#

If you have it, you put the screwdriver end in first, then put it under your GPU, pull it up and then tighten it

#

Pretty neat 2-in-1 tool they include

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:54 PM

#

That's sixk

#

Thanks so much for your help

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 9:55 PM

#

Np

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:56 PM

#

I'd like to help people the way you just helped me

#

I bet it feels gratifying to help others with problems like this

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 9:57 PM

#

Kinda, once it took 3 hours for me to help someone with something, their PC just didn’t like their new CPU for some reason. Think I was more relieved than them at the end lmao

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:57 PM

#

Haha yeah I can see thay

#

Originally I had cpu problems turns out the cpu I was using from an old rebuild was hardware locked

#

I had to buy a new one

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 9:58 PM

#

Ah, yeah this persons it just plain didn’t work, new CPU, updated BIOS

#

Can’t remember how we fixed it tbh

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 9:59 PM

#

I just need a better cpu now cause my ryzen 7 5600x for sure is going to not let me get all the performance I want from my gpu

#

Or eh I think I'll be fine for a while

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 10:01 PM

#

Yeah, the best gaming CPU you can get without having to replace your motherboard and RAM is the 5800x3D, not sure but I think around 10% performance increase on average maybe more

cursive thunder Apr 8, 2025, 10:02 PM

#

Cool

#

Thanks again

#

I really appretiate it!

whole oar Apr 8, 2025, 10:02 PM

#

No problem
