  1. ugh. i play an open-world RPG every evening on my gaming laptop and know exactly how it should feel. After installing NVIDIA GeForce Ion Graphics Driver 257.21, its noticeably choppier, frame times are all over the place, and tnoight 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 nromal. Is it possible a driver update makes things this much worse, or am i imagining it?

  2. ok but laptop or desktop? 馃槶 if laptop, is teh game definitely using the dedicated GPU?

    nothing is more permanent than a temporary workaround
