RTX 5070 Graphic and performance issues.

Hello, After upgrading my GPU to an RTX 5070, I’m experiencing severe visual issues and performance degradation in 7 Days to Die. Buildings and objects only appear when I'm very close to them, and they flicker or disappear at random. Additionally, I’m getting FPS drops (stuttering) in areas where everything previously ran smoothly with my older GPU RTX 4060. These problems occur regardless of graphics settings (Low to Ultra), resolution, DX11/DX12 mode, or version of the game. It affects both new and old worlds, with or without any mods (I play single player only).What I’ve already tested: - DDU + clean NVIDIA driver installation - Tried multiple driver versions, including the latest Game Ready Driver 576.40 (May 2025) - Switched between DX11 and DX12 - Disabled LOD and occlusion culling - Limited FPS, adjusted resolution scaling and AA - Reinstalled the game and cleared all user config files - Tried earlier versions (A21.1, A21.2, A21.3) – same result - Forced dedicated GPU in NVIDIA Control Panel and Windows settings. None of these helped. The exact same game setup worked flawlessly on my RTX 4060 with no flickering or performance drops. The issue started immediately after switching to the RTX 5070 and appears to be specific to newer Ada Lovelace Refresh GPUs. System: - AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D - RTX 5070 (Ada Lovelace Refresh, 12GB VRAM) - 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30 - Windows 10 Pro, fully updated - Game version: 1.0.4 (latest stable, May 2025) - No mods, single-player only Please advise if this is a known issue or if Unity/driver compatibility is involved. Thanks!

My guess would be it is something like using 32-bit Phys-X and not bowing down to Nvidia and using their proprietary 64-bit Phyx-X.

This is just one more stone in Nvidia's coffin while they dig their own grave.  It wasn't bad enough that you had to pay double what the card was actually worth, but you get reduced features as well.

Personally, return the card and get the AMD equivalent. It's cheaper for the same performance, and the only thing you're missing out on is DLSS and bull@%$# issues like this.

 
ya u right but i have no option to return already. next time i will be smarter. my last time with nvidia card. but i think i might not be about the phys-x i look more like just graphic gltich. i get like in forest first biome on high settings about 250fps. if would be physix i guees the wll be asweel bad framerate. overoll i get 5070 for normal price and most game run fine. specialy new ones. but 7days got problem 😕 and i just want let devs know about this issue so people with new card might enjoy the game. mby they have some fix for this

Did you uninstall using DDU? Try that if not. Also, don't forget to change the power prefrence to "prefer maximum power/performance" and use the Studio driver not game ready. Game ready drivers should only be used if you're playing a brand new game with all the fancy stuff turned on

 
ya i did. i think i use all simple or even more advance fixes i know. chat gtp said that 5070 might have problem working with old engine that is used in 7daystodie. he found some glitches and error in logs that ussaly are about GPU. and problem only apear when i switch from 4060 to 5070. so i think only hope for me its that devs or nvidia will do some type of support for new graphic cards

What things in the log? I'd be curious to see

 
some problem with dx11. and unity engine. i delete those logs already. but it was something about textures. a lot of some errors with gpu. and cpu. Mostly GPU i cheak if its not my hardwere problem and 100% its game or driver. chat gpt said asweel for me that old unity 2020. that is used by 7days might have problem works with 7800x3D and 5070. but problems start to apear only after switch to 5070.

some errors i now found and must be importat 

Couldn't create a Convex Mesh from source mesh "hull_forklift_tire" within the maximum polygons limit (256).
Couldn't create a Convex Mesh from source mesh "Head" within the maximum polygons limit (256).

Origin Reposition (3312.0, 48.0, 2560.0) to (3280.0, 32.0, 2288.0)

couldt find now exaclty about dx11 and unity. but ya i send logs for devs and support ticket waiting for answer

Those aren't any issues, those are harmless. The support feature you used is mostly for forum issues, the bug report section or here in general support works. Drop a log file here :)

Don't forget gpt isn't the best for this, as you can see in this case it just wanted to please you and picked some random things out of the log and hallucinated an explanation.

here Fresh logs that i did. i run little longer to find more errors that might help. https://pastebin.com/9KqzB1AL aswell i record video for YouTube  to let u see what happen on my screen with OSD from my pc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WByBO57m56A&ab_channel=Areeda as we can see there really bad 1% low fps cused by regular fps drops while the same time happen pop in of objects. as well in youtube video u sen see in 1.15min. there a massive pop in going all the time.  i lock fps to 150.   and when they unlocked gpu usage its about 98-99% so gpu usage is fine that is on video about 50 %. just saying in case.

 ya i know chat gpt its meh but sometiems its just usefull to find atelast some ideas that might help slove the issue. 

Thank u guys for anyhelp ❤️ hope it will be fixed

Nothing at all out of the ordinary in the logs. What is your Object quality and View distance set to? Also, did you turn the Resizable BAR (sometimes called ReBAR) on in your uefi/bios, as well as XMP? Unfortunately, both of those settings are motherboard specific, if you need help figuring that out let me know. But those two can make a difference in this game.

And yeah GPT can be helpful, but you gotta be careful as unless you have specific instructions to force it to not hallucinate an answer just to make you happy, it will give you crud like it did this time :)

PhysX is baked into unity, and it's on 64 bit so no worries there

hmm so what its can be? i have no idea

Sorry have to do a think on that one. Honestly you can try the game launcher's cleaning tool to wipe the settings, which will delete the registry entry for the game. A dxdiag result might show something. Pop ins are normal for the moment, just the nature of the game something we're looking at. We also did upgrade unity versions several times for V2, so maybe one will help? 

 
ya i know pops exist in game. but now its just broken. u can see it on youtube video i sand. textures are filcikering. loading to late. or not fully. things just pop and hide. 

and what u mean by v2? not fully understand . and i will try what u said. but there just something broken. like game was oke until 5070 endup in my pc ;/ but its have to be somethings with new cards. thanks for trying to help. I appreciete

dxdiag result might show something how do cheak this one?

V2 is the next version coming out soonish.

Try the game launcher's cleaning tool:

And winkey + r and enter dxdiag

From there you can save the report and upload it ^^

here is dxdiag report. https://pastebin.com/cFwJ7m0z

and i did clean game settings. still not helps.

i fight with this like for month. few days  ago a did fresh windows install and this didint help asweel

Thanks for that.

Looking at the dxdiag... is this a pre-built machine (as in, does it have a brand name or did you build it yourself)? Reason I ask is because under Model name it is a default "System Product Name" label. I was intending to see your motherboard's bios updates and check patch notes. If it is a pre-built, how is the power supply?

 
Areeda said:
hey. I build PC my self. All pc spec are new. not used. idk what is this name but i dont change anything like this. 

about PSU there full spec of my PC:

Procesor - AMD 7 7800x3D
GPU - Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5070 OC 12GB GDDR7
RAM - Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB, DDR5, 32 GB, 6000MHz, CL30 
PSU - Gigabyte UD750GM PG5 750W
Motherboard - Asus TUF GAMING B650-E WIFI

And BIOS its updated to the latest. Bios version 3223. i did update when i do fresh windows install when i was trying to fix 7DTD

and i think this power supply its not bad. i dont have any issue with this and there still space for power. no pc crashes. no game crashes. all run just fine. tested all componets with benchmark and everything run without issues. Temps. are good aswell CPU 100% about 68-70c, GPU 100% about 65c. NVMe m2 runs asswell good no issues or temps. motherboard when pc is relaxed about 26 c.
