Roll Back nVidia Drivers to 398.36

[T8-TR]

What the title says.

This is assuming you're suffering from FPS drops in areas such as Rotten Vale and certain places in the Ancient Forest. I've got a pretty beefy rig and I was finding it weird that I'd drop to even sub-30 FPS in those areas (Vale, especially), but once I rolled back the drivers (because someone on reddit suggested it), I've been experiencing a solid ~90 - 110 FPS consistently across all the maps!

It isn't the best fix, and idk if AMD has a similar one, but it works for me and it's simple. Just gotta wait until nVidia comes out with another driver before updating, I guess!

Yea, rolling back to the previous version fixed my FPS issues. The difference is huge.

Can also testify, improved FPS on my gtx 970 and fx 8350 build

This brought me from 8 fps to 60 fps. Build: fx 8350, geforce 1070.

(1080p max /w volume)
rolling back with a 6850k@4.2ghz w/ 1070ti@2025 sees a 15-25fps loss avg.
and about 15-20 fps avg during Daora.

Current driver I get about 50-80fps and dips to the 40's instead of constant 45's, and Daora drops to about 25-45fps

also seen about a 5-10 fps loss on my avg with my 5820k@4.0 and 970@1366, but i'm not getting dips into the low teens range anymore, didin't get to test Daora fight.

both systems are Windows 10 64bit, Game mode disabled, Leatrix enabled, windows parking disabled, intel turbo boost focus is on OBS for ndi-plugin offloading to encode on my 5820k and using a fixed frequency overclock with speedstep disabled

(TL:DR 1070ti rollback= bad | 970 rollback=good and bad)

I haven't had any issues with low framerates. Is it something specific to certain areas or are the complaints that the rates are low all the time?

It seems that this works for some people that have a cpu bottleneck problem, to me with a 8700k i loose like 5 to 4 frames in comparison with the newest drivers on a 1070.

hmm, im still at version 388.43, should i upgrade it?

gtx 1050 ti

I also rolled back, seems more stable but not neccesarily more fps.
i5 3570k at 4.3
gtx 1060 6 gb
1080p and 16 gb ram

usually 60-90 fps, medium/high settings mix with no volumetric rendering.

i7 4790, GTX 1060 6GB, both stock, volume off, reflections off, rest high.

Rolling back saw ~10 FPS drop. Sticking with the release (not hotfix) has been the most stable for me so far.
