I just got a MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Ventus 2x OC Plus 16GB from OCUK to replace a 1070, to go with my system as below:

Motherboard B450-I
CPU AMD Ryzen 7 2700
RAM 32GB DDR4

All works fine with the 1070. When I installed the 5060ti I uninstalled drivers and rebooted. Had a very small screen/window in the centre of my monitor but figured it was down to drivers. Installed latest but now I get nothing after BIOS, no output to my screen.

Please can someone point me in the right direction?

All I can find online is to reduce the PCIe version. I have tried auto, 3, 2 and 1 but none work. When I swap back to the 1070 everything is normal.
 
This could be a gpu/motherboard incompatibility. Is your board the Asus ROG Strix B450-i? Have you updated to the latest bios which is version 5602 for that board? If not then doing so may fix your problem. There have been quite a few incompatibilities between these new cards and older boards.
 
Thanks both! Now you've suggested those things I feel silly for not having tried them, but I've never had to when upgrading before. Will update bios and disable CSM (if enabled) when I get back from work. Fingers crossed :)

And yes it's the ROG Strix mobo

TLDR: BIOS update and selecting GEN 2 PCIe seems to have worked. Testing via games commencing :)

Updated BIOS & disabled CSM, black screen.
Enabled CSM and set PCIe mode to gen 2, was able to boot.
Updated drivers via Nvidia app to latest (released today), black screen.
Disabled CSM and set PCIe back to gen 3 and I get to login screen, but then goes black screen again after a few seconds.
Set PCIe to gen 2 and seems to be working...


Any suggestions to optimise, or do I just accept very marginally reduced performance from Gen 2?
 
I'm hoping someone can help as I'm running into another problem now. I seem unable to get output from the GPU when booting unless I go via BIOS. No changes to settings, just power on, BIOS, save/discard and exit, then I get an output to the screen and all works properly
