Not having issues, but i found fresh drivers on Nvidia.com, update ?

[Wena]

I have been tweaking my graphics since i started playing more and more, and seriously tweaking during almost a week, a while ago. I really got into it and everything is now smooth and without crashes for over a month.

it´s a gtx 1060 card on a laptop! and things could get better, i guess. But these "game ready drivers" yeah it seems like it´s some "smart" software and those kinds of things are always REALLY really stupid!!

So anyone with KIND of a similar setup who has installed the latest ?? and how is the experience?

my current drivers are from May -22 and the new is about a week old. There is an option for "studio drivers" and i kind of guess that´s the kind i have now...a more manual thing without any "auto/smart" functions !?

and I can asked another thing when im here... OverClocking with MSI Afterburner / EVGA precision ... taking it in small steps bit by bit, is it possible to notice good improvement worth the hassle and risk ??

Avoid the studio drivers. They're intended more for work uses rather than gaming.

Newer drivers can be a crapshoot in some situations. Can't hurt anything to update if you note your current driver version first for the sake of rolling back if you get performance regressions.

The "game ready" thing isn't a smart software thing, it's just what nvidia labels their main driver releases with release day fixes for games that come out around the time that driver came out, usually listed in the update notes.

It IS worth disabling all manner of auto updating in geforce experience or just flat out not installing it though. It's not required for the drivers to work.

As you're on a laptop, I wouldn't suggest doing much in the way of overclocking. My previous laptop with a gt 940m I got somewhat good gains by overclocking, but, that chip also put out very little heat and the cooler in the laptop was rather overbuilt for how weak that thing was. A 1060 would put out more and probably get unpleasantly loud. God knows my current 1060 laptop does.

With my +240Core +295Memory overclock, I manage 25-30FPS on Cyberpunk with combination Medium and High Settings instead of 20-25 on my GTX 1050. Plus, this laptop has been functional since 2018.

Do what you will based on this info

Yeah how do i "roll back" ?? that means installing the previous drivers if the new one doesn´t work out or what ? =) I actually found fresher drivers i already downloaded but never installed, i got those i june but forgot completely...But the ones i have installed i dont have the setup file for....Where can i find "old" drivers ?!? cuz as i said, this thing runs really smooth now, smoother and better than ever, i bought it in 2018. and im realising, this 1060 isnt that bad at all..

maybe i can do a "system-mirror" thingy and just reverse everything if it all becomes a big ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Wow isnt that quite BIG numbers ?? did you get there small steps at a time ?? was it stable or did you have to find the right settings by testing?


ok....i need to install mse or evga and have a look at what it all lo0oks like, im thinking mostly about powerconsumption.

People tell you need to increase by +10 every step but thats too slow so +50 for every step, test, if no crashing add aditional 50, test, if it crashes, go back to previous one and start adding by 10 instead and never ever click any button to apply overclock at boot unless you are sure.

Everyone will have different values

Yeah it was something like that i was going to do....did you use afterburner, evga or some other software ?

I always hated how nvidia OC works.

Like you added +240 core to what?

Offset numbers are meaningless for the comparison, as every model has different stock clocks.

??? Well I added an average of 5 fps every game after overclocks so theres your point of comparison.
