    ok so my gaming laptop is performing like it lost a generation. a racing sim stutters in places that used to be smooth, all after teh Intel driver update.

    Id like to measrue this properly instead of going on feel 馃槫 Whats the 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. A simple, repeatable method would be perfect.

    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.

    lol

    yeahhh 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. lmk how it goes

    lol same thing happened to me if measurement confirms a regression, roll back with DDU to the previous driver, and report it to Intel with ur GPU, game and settings. good luck man!

    been there man after a drvier update, games often rebuild their shader cache, which causes stutter for teh first sessions... give it a couple of runs, or clear the driver shader cache manually in teh control panel / %LocalAppData% cache folder and let it rebuild once. good luck man!
