    smths off... a competitive shooter feels sluggish since teh GeForce Hotfix Driver for Notebooks update and teh 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 gaming laptop, ive resatrted, renistalled 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 measure this properly, cuz right now i am mostly going on feel and an FPS counter in the corner of teh screen. pls help 🙏

    yeahhh to measure properly, use a repeatable in-game benchmark or the same route, log frame times with a tool like PresentMon or CapFrameX, and copmare average and 1% lows on both drivers. One run each isnt enough.

    my pc fans sound like a jet taking off but sure

    After a driver update, games often rebuild their shader cache, which causes stutter for the first sessions. Give it a couple of runs, or clear teh driver shader cache manually in teh control panel / %LocalAppData% cache folder and let it rebuild once. lmk how it goes

    at this point my GPU cost more than my car lol

    oh ive been there lol check that the driver install didn't reset ur cotnrol 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. good luck man!

    been there man 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. fingers crossed 🤞
