    so annoyed rn my home-built tower is performing like it lost a generation. an MMO stutters in places that used to be smooth, all after the NVIDIA driver update.

    id like to measure this properly instead of going on feel, whats teh right way to compare two drivers? I have both driver packages downloaded already 👍 I just do not want to run a dozen random tests and end up with numbers I cannot interpret lol A simple, repeatable method would be perfect.

    been there man check Power Options: a Windows update or driver installer can switch to Balanced or a battery saver profile. On laptops, also check the manufacturers performance mode app.

    after a driver update, games often rebuild their shader cache, which causes stutter for the first sessions... give it a couple of runs, or clear teh driver shader cache manually in teh control panel / %LocalAppData% cache folder and let it rebuild once. hope that helps :)

    been there man if measurement confirms a regression, roll back with DDU to teh previous driver, and report it to NVIDIA with ur GPU, game and settings.

    lol same thing happened to me to measure properly, use a repeatable in-game benchmark or the same route, log frame times with a tool like PresentMon or CapFrameX, and compare average and 1% lows on both drivers. One run each isnt enough. lmk how it goes

    thinking
