ASUS GUP Tweek III killed my Geforce RTX 2070 Super!!!

I ran the 'optimise' performance feature on the ASUS GPU Tweek III application... with disastrous results.

The card (Geforce RTX 2070 Super) seemed to run fine afterwards for about 10 minutes then suddenly it spluttered and crashed with random lines etc

Now the GPU card is not getting loaded by my PC, its reports a 'problem' with the graphics card and it runs VGA mode only.

I tried driver updates and reloading ASUS applications but no joy... its seems to be totally DEAD.

Its a pity because the card has been perfect for several years and I probably didn't even need any boost to be honest 😒

Anyway, nothing to do but replace it... can anyone recommend a modern equivalent please?

Here is my PC spec:

CPU is Intel i9-990k @3.6GHz

32Gb RAM

MPG Z390 Gaming Plus mother board

Thanks 😎

If it can run VGA mode, it may not be entirely lost. The BIOS contents may have been corrupted, and you could try reflashing the BIOS.

You can a BIOS copy from here:

And then use nvflash to flash it and see it can be salvaged.

Thanks Spear, its worth a try.

No joy I'm afraid.

The GPU is not responding, and nvflash reports an error when trying to communicate with he card.

Considering this as a replacement...

Is this overkill for the CPU and MB ?

It's the same performance as your 2070 Super.
