hmmm to measure propelry, use a repeatable in-game benchmark or teh 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. hope that helps :)

    I play a racing sim every evening on my gaming laptop and know exactly how it should feel. After installing AMD Radeon Crimson Edition Graphics Driver 16.7.3, it's noticeably choppier, frame times are all over the place, and tonight it even crashed once:

    Fatal error

    Fatal error
The game has crashed and will now close.

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
The GPU device instance has been suspended.

    I haven't changed any in-game settings. temps look normal. is it possible a driver update makes things this much worse, or am I imagining it?
