    I play an open-world RPG every evening on my small form factor PC and know exactly how it should feel. After installing Intel i830/i845/i852/i855/i865 (Windows NT) , it's noticeably choppier, frame times are all over the 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 haven't changed any in-game settings. Temps look normal. Is it possible a driver update makes things this much worse, or am I imagining it?

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