Would that be saving it to a USB and then loading it in UEFI BIOS?

Yes use the USB and within BIOS environment - safest way.

Format the pendrive to fat 32 before saving the BIOS to it - 8GB pendrive or under if possible.

Just did that and then went through and input my Overclock stuff. Still getting slow boot up with that white dash. However I think my high CPU usage game isnt causing twitch to stutter anymore

have you tried turning UP your graphics settings in game?

Adrianw1992 · 9 Feb 2020 at 14:17

I don't see what that's going to do

I noticed bottlenecks after upgrading my card (970 to 1070) and performance was similar but CPU utilisation increased (90-100% on CPU and 40-50% on GPU), once I upped the settings both are now at around 80% with high / smoother / more consistent FPS. (I've only skimmed the thread so that may not be relevant to your situation)

Thanks for help anyway, I think I'm ok with what my FPS is like at the moment and it feels as tho I've cleaned up the CPU utilisation a bit with the fresh windows install. Only thing that's bugging me is the slow boot up now and the black screen with the blinking white line top left for about 3 seconds before windows starts.

Did you install Windows in UEFI mode?

Are all quick boot options enabled (you will have reset BIOS with flash - perhaps you've overlooked a setting)?

Adrianw1992 · 9 Feb 2020 at 15:09

I used the reinstall windows feature in the os, and then updated the bios with flash and tried to look through the boot options using videos to see if I could enable quick boot options but not quite sure if everything I need enabled is.

Does not matter as I and others have found out and just the way Windows can act up at times, you can end up with no performance gain or even worst performance going to an even faster GPU (even Nvidia to Nvidia or AMD to AMD).

It has happened to me twice in the past and nothing worked bar a clean install of Windows (last resort).

When I went from 1080 to 2070Super I went into device manager, right clicked the 1080, chose to uninstall it, stopped the reboot, shut down, replaced the card and booted back up again. Card was detected by windows almost immediately and I haven’t had a bit of bother since.

Lucky you and most times it will, I did state this.

I think most people will do a clean install of the driver when they want to get best out of a GPU upgrade using GFE or the old method (Windows CP> Add/Remove) before GFE, make sense.
