Hey Guys!
Today i've upgraded my PC from the following settings:

Case: NZXT H5 Elite
Mobo: Aorus B550 Elite AX v2
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x
Cooler: NZXT Kraken Z63
RAM: 32GB (4 Sticks, 2666mhz)
PSU: 1000W be quiet pure power 12 m
SSD: Corsair MP600 Core XT (4TB)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Windforce OC

What are the best settings for the best performance while gaming, inside windows and nvidia settings?

That's a pretty loaded question. Really, you were CPU bound by the 3700, so spin up a copy of 3D Mark with your normal settings and just that 5700X3D. Then start moving up resolution/graphic options until you see too much of a reduction in frame rate. I don't min/max my rig, I just wanted to get a decent frame rate at 4k in Diablo IV. (Which is a LOT harder than you'd think, and the Ryzen 3600/2080 combo did not approve.)

First off, congrats on the upgrade!  🙂

Unfortunately, this is an overly broad question so it's hard to give specific recommendations.  Unless I'm missing something, I'm a little confused why all the specs where listed pre/post-upgrade as it looks like the only component that was changed is the CPU.  Assuming that you had a cleanly running system to begin with, I think you're somewhat limited in what you can optimize purely from a Windows/GPU settings perspective.  You may be able to make some minor settings changes here and there but I doubt anything is going to magically unlock a bunch of hidden frames for you above what you'll see simply due to the CPU upgrade.  You can find loads of optimization guides on various gaming sites or youtube channels.  Probably best to check those out.

That said, it really depends more upon what games you're playing and you're going to need to focus on their individual in-game graphics settings to tweak them to your hardware and individual preferences.  You also don't mention what resolution your playing at which is also very important to factor in as that's going to potentially have a big impact on gaming performance.  The higher the resolution, the more power you need to push all those pixels and the bigger the performance hit you will take.

If you don't want to deal with tweaking individual game settings yourself, you could try running the NVIDIA Geforce Experience software as it has an "Optimize" feature which can identify the games you have installed and automatically apply in-game graphics settings which should provide a better experience on your given hardware.  I don't generally use that as I don't want the additional overhead of running the software, but I have tried it a time or two and it seemed to work decently and did successfully apply the settings in-game without me doing anything.  So that might be worth a shot and may at least give you a better starting point than the default settings for a particular game.

Sorry that doesn't provide exact answers to your questions, but hopefully it helps point you in the right direction to find them!  Have fun tweaking and gaming!
