**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Just upgraded to the new Nvidia Hotfix drivers which "fixes" performance relating to a Windows Update and my frame rates have dived!

From 165+ to 80! Something aint right :mad: Should've left it alone

Think you may be on to something here, I've noticed RDR2 performance changed to the worst today and it wasn't like this on my 5070ti a few days ago. I wonder if a re installation or going back a previous driver might help?

EDIT: didn't see your above comments, did you DDU then install 581.89?

Confused as the latest version of Nvidia game ready driver im using is 581.80 ( Cant see a 581.89 game ready or studio drivers )

EDIT: I googled nvidia hotfix drivers and found them, is there any point using these over Gameready/Studio? im sure my performance is worse using new drivers.

the first mistake was adopting the windows update staying well clear of that for 6 months at least

several friends have all shed tears of regret

Well I don't blame the update in this instance as I don't have any performance problems... Until I tried the new Nvidia hotfix atleast :cry:
 
Decided to try the hotfixes again going by peoples claims of much higher frame rates.. Still think it's a placebo for most.

Used DDU this time, and while they were not as extreme in performance loss, I'm still getting a performance loss! Battlefield never dropped below 160 ( capped ), but with the hotfixes I'm seeing 140's

Back to the Vulkun I linked before and never drops once
 
If my drivers ain’t broke, I don’t upgrade. The last 4 times I’ve tried I had to DDU roll back.

Absolute shambles, the last time I was this frustrated as a pc gamer was 20 years ago when we were still manually patching games.
