ADT-Link, Xbox Ally X and 5060 Ti issues

I used to rock GTX 1080. It worked flawless, no freezes, restarts or anything. I got RTX 5060 TI and everything is just worse - lot of freezes, restarts, games starting in weird way (800x600, misplaced window), performance seems to be fine although physx took a hit for some reason. Previous drivers were disabled, HAGS is off, PCI E is not in power saving mode in power profiles. I dont know what to do to improve my experience. Now I finally managed that youtube in firefox does not freeze whole system.

PSU 620W
Jsaux Dock, 140W PD charger
SW1 set to position 2

Any help appreciated!

You should enable HAGS, try disabling / enabling reBAR, can help stabilize or make it worse. Very system dependent. Also do a full DDU run in safe mode. Delete old drivers. Reboot, reinstall latest. Checking PCIe power savings is off also advised.

Also in NVIDIA profile manager it NVIDIA app choose “best performance” for the game you’re trying. Can try “Optimal performance” too, but my eGPU hates it for some reason, like 20% performance loss in some games, especially UE4/5. But best performance will increase temps, cause clocks stay high on the card

Nice 👍 happy you got it to work. Are you happy with the performance of a 5060 ti ? I’m personally on a 3080 and is great over USB4. 1440p monster
