  1. long time lurker first post lol somethings off. an MMO feels sluggish since the GeForce Graphics Driver update and the FPS counter agrees with me.

    Fatal error

    Fatal error
    The game has crashed and will now close.
    
    DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
    The GPU device instance has been suspended.
    

    That crash happened once too. Im on a budget build. Ive restarted, reinstalled teh game, and turned off recording. Before I go back to teh old driver, is there smth I should check first? 😅 I would also like to understand how to measure this properly, because right now I am mostly going on feel and an FPS counter in the corner of the screen. im about to throw this thing out the window lol

  4. oh ive been there lol 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.

  5. ok so 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. hope that helps :)
