New RTX 3070 - can’t run ray tracing benchmarks

[Notime4games]

Hi, have a strange issue. I upgraded from an RTX 2060 to an ASUS RTX 3070 Dual OC. Installed the latest drivers from Nvidia (they are the correct ones) and all seems to be working fine. Tried a couple games and they worked well. Ran windows update and have latest of everything.

However, I tried running a few ray tracing benchmarks (eg Bright Memory Rat Tracing test in steam and others), and none run. When I click run / lunch on the tests absolutely nothing happens.

any ideas of what might be the issue?

I'd do a full fresh Install of Windows.
If the games run with Ray Tracing enabled then the GPU should be fine.

I’d like to avoid that, as reinstalling windows is a real pain...

• It’s not that the benchmark starts and fails, it literally doesn’t open. If I am in Steam and click launch on the benchmark, absolutely nothing happens. I think it opens a Cisco webex app in the background instead of starting the benchmark or something random

Use DDU in safe mode, then install the drivers again.

Check with Port Royal

I bought it, got a score of 8,113 in Port Royal. Looks vaguely in range
