Is My 5070 Dying?
UPDATE:
I appreciate all the input from everybody. I slotted in my old 2080 and it was immediately outperforming my 5070 in Forza, so I believe I have a faulty card. I am shipping my card to ASUS today. Wish me luck, gamerz.
I've had my 5070 since last June with no issues, until yesterday. I installed Forza Horizon 6 and could not for the life me get the benchmark to crack 60 fps unless I used the "very low" preset. Temps are low (60s at most for both GPU and CPU), and I'm well under the VRAM limit. I have a 1000w power supply, so I don't think power is an issue. From what I've seen, 5070s can run this game with RT on at much higher settings, so I downloaded a few benchmarking tools. I've attached screenshots of both my FH6 benchmarks and my PerformanceTest results for my whole system. What's strange is certain aspects of the GPU test seem to be in line with expectations for my card, but others fall pretty far behind. I don't think I'm experiencing CPU or SSD bottlenecks either, as those tested fine. I've tried overclocking with no change in performance. I've also been playing Cyberpunk at around the expected performance (4k, 75-90fps, high settings), so it's strange that Forza is having more trouble than anything else I've played. It's also possible that my card has always been underperforming and I'm just now noticing. My card is still under warranty, and I do have my old 2080 I can slot in in the meantime, but only want to do that as a last resort. I've tried to include all relevant info, but happy to fill in any gaps. I am noticing big intermittent spikes for my GPU (3D) in task manager as I'm typing this, so maybe it is just a faulty card, as I'm only running Chrome right now with no other programs on. Any help/additional troubleshooting tips would be appreciated.
