  1. ugh. something's off. an open-world RPG feels sluggish since the Detonator XP Drivers (Windows 9X/ME) 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. i'm on a gaming laptop. i've restarted, reinstalled the game, and turned off recording. Before i go back to the old driver, is there smth i should check first? i would also like to understand how to mesaure this properly, cuz right now i am mostly going on feel and an FPS counter in the corner of the screen. what am i doing wrong??

    rgb adds +10 fps everyone knows that

    cry

  2. hmmmm quick q laptop or desktop? If laptop, is the game definately using the dedicated GPU?

  3. to measure properly, 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.

    reading release notes like its a horror novel
