Which card to upgrade?

Looks like the 4060 is slightly better so will probably go for that.
Not slightly, it is much better (on power). It is slower than the 6750 XT though, so I'd definitely look to pay close to £250 and not near to £300.

Houston, we have a problem.

Just inserted my 4060, switched on. All good. Installed NVIDIA drivers and black screen - during the installation. I get no signal detected on screen and the monitor goes into power saving mode.

Have tried 3x with the same results.

Any suggestions?

Reset your CMOS, take the coin battery out of the motherboard for a couple of minutes, put it back in and retry.
 
Try updating BIOS. I was getting a VGA debug led when I installed my 4070S and was getting no output to monitor.

Different scenario to you but it might be same fix.

You're aware this is often normal for a limited period, right?

Are you using DP or HDMI? You could try switching to the other.

I wasn't... Not at all. I thought it'd be as simple as swapping cards, removing the old driver, installing the new one and bobs your uncle.

Just to be totally clear, what I mean is: while the nvidia driver installs you may lose the picture a few times and that's normal.

What is not normal, is if the picture stays blank forever.

Yeah I'm aware it could flicker. But for several minutes? Surely that's not right.
 
Update: ended up taking the PC to the local PC shop and they are sorting it. Apparently a few driver issues and the bios flash I did, didn't quite work.

I also have a corsair 850W PSU... So... Thinking I might return the 4060 for something a bit beefier. Guess it'd be between 6750xt and 4070?

There's not that much difference between a 4060 and a 6750 XT. 4070 is a bigger jump, but it is also around £200 more than a 4060 for a non-Super (£450).

Can you not give it a try first? I think you'll find the 4060 is a decent upgrade on a RX 580 (TPU's GPU database has it as 113% faster).

Fingers crossed!
