TUF-RTX4070-12G-GAMING does not increase FPS

[lucenacsl]

cquire a TUF-RTX4070-12G-GAMING. When running games like RedDead 2 Online Mode, World of Warships, The Hunter Classic..., the video card does not increase the FPS, the temperature rises above 50ºC and the fan does not turn on, despite the fan turning on the pc startup. GPU Tweak III normally recognizes the graphics card as well as all other related Asus software. I ran OC Scanner in GPU Tweak and the following ERROR is displayed:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime library

Assertion failed!

Hello lucenacsl

If frames per second aren't increasing, check in the Nvidia Control Panel under Manage 3d Settings that vertical sync is turned off.

You may have 0db enabled in GPU Tweak III, try turning 0db off, this should get the fans spinning. You might have to restart your pc for the changes to take effect.

To fix the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime error, follow the steps in the video below, here is the link to Microsoft. - Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads | Microsoft Learn

While the error is for vulcan, a repair may still fix it.

Nate152,

Thank you for your help. I carried out the procedures you recommended. In the meantime, I was touched to verify something that I had not commented on, I use a 90º PCI-E 3.0 GPU adapter, with the video card that I previously used ROG-STRIX-RX580-GAMING, it works perfectly. I removed the PCI-E 3.0 adapter and connected the TUF-RTX4070 directly to the motherboard slot...show... it worked perfect, I managed to run the OC SCANNER of the GPU TWEAK and adjust the fans. Bottom line, the PCI-E 3.0 GPU adapter is not compatible with this 4.0 GPU. Some power pinout must be different as the error displayed was "Expression: voltage == 0". I cleaned and reinstalled the RTX4070 again with the 3.0 adapter, the failure occurred again. I hope this situation helps others with similar issues and brings attention to GPU adapters. Hugs.

The protagonists.

Thank you for the picture. That is a nice pc, you have some serious cooling going on there for the cpu.

Some of those gpu riser cables can cause issues, you'd definitely want a pcie 4.0 riser cable.

Is all good when connecting your TUF-RTX4070-12G-GAMING directly to the motherboard?

With the RX580, I used an acrylic block to also cool. Everything runs perfectly with the RTX4070 in motherboard.
Thanks for pointing out the PCI-e 4.0 cable.

Thank you very much.
