Heads up, these last drivers lowered my performance by about 5% on average in most games, and I get strange hitching in Snowrunner that I didn't have before I downloaded them. Yeah, Im going back to the previous version.

Hitching could be a one-time shader thing after a new patch (or massive gpu crash). But thanks for the heads-up!

Anyone playing the new Hogwarts game might be carful using these drivers. its being reported that they are causing performance issue.

They work fine in my experience, and performance is generally pretty good with only some stuttering in certain places that existed with the older drivers anyway.

RT reflections seem like they're almost completely broken with the new driver, though.

I'm on the previous ver drivers and have had no issues at all playing the game. And its been a really good game so far. alot better then I expected it to be.

So, FYI!!

At least playing above 60 fps, the game can really slow down sometimes. I can almost feel the new areas getting loaded in. At some point the slogginess can drag on long enough for every troubleshooting fibre in my body to scream "memory leak". Like Gotham Knight, I'm almost certain this game has issues that need fixing pronto.

I use quite a bit of discord when doing coop in Snowrunner or some other games. So this will be a welcome fix. Not that I noticed any great slowdowns anyway, but hey every little bit helps!

No game-ready update for Hogwarts Legacy? That's surprising, considering the official release in 2 days. I was hoping for some relief from the abnormal performance issues.

Looking forward to the fix when you have Chrome running in the background 😂

Good driver update the Discord memory clock bug is fixed. Looking forward to the upcoming big driver update to 530 branch for RTX Super Resolution support in Chrome 110 though.

Sorry Blue, I missed that.

Sure hope this get this under control soon, the last solid functioning driver I recall was Dec 2022.

Bought Dying Light 2 during Chinese New Year Sale. DL 2 first anniversary but most importantly for me, they removed denuvo.
I dropped back to Dec 2022. Then had Dying Light 2 tell me to update, it still worked.
So far it's a pretty mixed bag, the game is bigger with cool combat and Coop.
But they've remove guns and nerfed the grapple. They nerf gameplay, if you use mods to fix their bad designs.
You can't even edit Key Configurations without being flagged and nerfed, not to mention removing oversaturation and bloom.
The nerf, disables Legendary Levels. The extra 250 levels (25 levels for 10 skills, typically raised post, story completion).
As usual, it seems the regressive design can be laid bare, at the feet of consoles and cash grab shop (only skins).

Also, bizarrely they decided to have background noise of constant screams for help, everywhere you go, all the time.
Don't they know there's an apocalypse, how can the streets be full of people at night, every time we leave base?
Why do survivors sit by campfires on the roofs of buildings full of zombies, many of which can climb?
