before you blame the intel driver for low fps, check this

Did any control panel settings reset after teh update?? ?

any update on this? ?

Mostly stutter, the average is only a little lower but teh 1% lows are bad. hope thats enough info 😅

honestly just reset teh update and save yourself the pain... i swear fps is cursed

lol same thing happened to me honestly just reset the fimrware and save yourself teh pain fingers crossed 🤞

ahh classic exact same thing happeend to my mac last month

also lol i come back to this thread every week just for teh drama :)

DNS. its always DNS

following, having the same problem fingers crossed 🤞

Check that the driver install didn't reset your control panel settings (power management mode, low latency mode, V-Sync, frame caps). A clean install resets everything to defaults, which can feel like a performance change. hope that helps :)

for me it was the thermal paste. swapped it and boom, fixed. same issue here on my work pc. driving me crazy lmk how it goes

bump

@kofi.koch thank u this worked!!

First rule out the obvious: on laptops, check that teh game actually uses the dedicated GPU. Settings > System > Display > Graphics, add the games .exe, set it to High performance, driver updates can reset per-app GPU preferences.

make a backup before u touch the cable, learned that the hard way

WOWWW finally got it working, thanks everyone seriously made my day 😭🙏

long time lurker first post lol my old thinkpad is officially haunted what am i doing wrong??

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

it works on my machine™

oh ive been there lol pro tip: write down what u change. i didnt and had to redo intel from scratch

so annoyed rn reading this at 2am instead of sleeping, no regrets im about to throw this thing out the window lol
