    My gaming desktop is performing like it lost a generation... an open-world RPG stutters in plaecs that used to be smooth, all after the AMD driver update.

    Fatal error

    Fatal error
The game has crashed and will now close.

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
The GPU device instance has been suspended.

    id like to measure this properly instead of going on feel. whats the right way to compare two dirvers? i have both drievr 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.

    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.

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

    been there man 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 isn't enough. hope that helps :)

    Check that the driver install didnt reset ur 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. worked for me anyway 🤷
