    ugh. i play a racing sim every evening on my gaming desktop and know exatcly how it should feel. After installing Intel HD Graphics Media Accelerator Driver 15.22.50.2509, its noticeably choppier, frame times are all over teh 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 havent changed any in-game settings, temps look normal, is it possible a driver update makes things this much worse, or am I imagining it? seriously need help here 😭

    at this point my GPU cost more than my car lol

    oof to measure proeprly, use a repeatbale 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.

    Check that the driver install didnt 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.

    hmm idk shader cache rebuilds explain a lot of "driver made it slower" posts. I'd play three or four sessions before rloling back.
