New Nvidia drivers broke performance

[bender2999]

hi, at least for me, new invidia drivers 545.84.
i was having a very good experience, 60 fps with no downs, no stuttering.
But one hour ago i have instaled new drivers and i have drops to 50 and 40 fps.
my specs are:
i7 13700kf
rtx 4090
64gb ram

anybody in my situation?

Tomorrow will see how the new drivers fare, I'll prolly check with nvidia inspector this games profiles if the fps actually goes down.

Would you mind updating on that? Ill hold off on the driver until then

Easy anti cheat?

also broke performance in CONTROL. Lost 20 fps in Control . I have 13900K and 4090. Installed drivers to be sure 2 times and on previous i had 24 fps more than on latest. Yes. Is this only to Control related or this game too? That fps lost

They break ALL games' performance for awhile, every time. Every update seems to clear the cache, and then the GPU has to recache the shaders or whatever. I have been noticing this since at least Resident Evil 4's remake released.

My copy of RE4r would be working amazing, then an update for my GPU would drop, and my performance would drop even harder. 15 minutes or so later, performance would be back to normal. It happened every time and for multiple games.

With the devs constant updates I'm having the smoothest gameplay ever, with settings between high and ultra, using a below average GPU. So, nope, I'm gonna wait at least until I beat the game before updating drivers

I have seen new topics here with people experiencing the same

[Blacksmith77K]

No problems here with the new driver, 4080@7700x

[IchigoMait]

Just a shader cache issue, took some time, around a minute or something for the fps drops to stop, basically like when the game first time launched. But yeah, it's gonna be like that every time you update the gpu drivers and it clears the cache.

Aka normal.

i have played 10 hours after the driver install and is still the same, game now never reach 60 fps... 57,58,59... but never 60 and sometimes drops to 50 and stays there when resting in the vestiges. Its very annoying. Just before install new drivers last night game was smooth 60 fps all time. So for me, the new driver ruined my experience.

its not broke my game

[Slava Ukraini]

no need 4090 for this game anyway. better use little older cards. or maybe you want play res 8k?

[chasemm18]

no fps drops for me but the latest drivers definitely messed up the umbral realm, im getting bizarre flickering and these like checkerboard looking textures on the map. I wish there was a way to recache the shaders in the game but I dont see anything in the menu. I feel like if I could just do that again it might clear up any bugs.

I am on an i9 - 11900k and an RTX 4090. I am with you. The game was running very smooth at 60fps at 4k prior to the new Nvidia driver today. Now I have some stuttering at times and have had 4 or 5 crashes in 2 hours of play time. I am sure the Dev team will rollout an update to align with the new drivers soon. In the meantime its a little rough.

It actually made the game run like a dream on my potato, 2080 ti, 9900k 16gb ram

The game had never been so smooth as now.

Run DDU in safe mode, wipe it all with it then restart into windows, install fresh drivers, restart, delete the files in appdata/local/temp and in windows/temp, and then delete the files and folder in appdata/local/nvidia and the files in programdata/nvidia then delete appdata/local/lotf2/saved/upipelinecache file. Ignore/skip anything it says unable to delete.
Start the game and give it a few minutes to rebuild the shader cache, warp to a few places it should stable out
