nvidia drivers issues
I updated my GPU drivers to the latest version and I am having performance problems, stuttering and fps drops. Is there a stable driver for a RTX 3060?

Never install gameready drivers. Always opt for studio drivers

why? will it help if I go to the Studio instead? Im having same problems on 5060 ti
Game ready drivers are quickly produced with minimal testing to cater to latest game releases, read notes, if there is no benefit in it for your machine why update?

Studio drivers take longer to produce and are more thoroughly tested and usually stable.
It's remarkable what kind of nonsense is being talked here.

The Game Ready driver is intended exclusively for games and can only be used for gaming because it contains optimizations and bug fixes.

The Studio driver is used by content creators and is intended for better use in editing, animation, photography, graphic design, and livestreaming.
Read more in the official Nvidia forum from official personal.
Since you have also posted Steam here, you are a gamer and therefore naturally use the Game Ready driver.

Over and out.

Reinstall the one you were previously using?

It's unlikely anything in the latest driver makes any nescersary changes to an old card.

Drivers, are simple, if it ain't broke, don't fix em.

If you are doing professional work and it works, no need to do anything with new drivers and take the risk.

Let's not overlook the OP is on a 3060.

nice poop that comes out your mouth do you always accept tags as the absolute truth?

game ready drivers are advertised to gamer's
studio drivers are advertised to professionals

read there "advertised"

just because the smart fridge is advertised as a fridge does not mean it cannot run doom

it is recommended to use game ready drivers because it has all the new bells and whistles but do not think for a moment studio drivers will not run games

also there are plenty of gamer's that use the studio drivers to begin with because the game ready drivers are not stable for them vice versa aswel i do what is deemed professional work on game ready drivers the studio drivers offer nothing i need atm so why would i install them?

so stop being a marketing slob the only thing you are right about is that game ready drivers should be used by gamer's but it remains as a should stop locking yourself in boxes


It's disgusting what conspiracy theories you're spouting here.
It's a good thing I have the facts on my side and not just slanted words.

Of course you poopnoob can use the studio driver to play, but then it is “outdated” for the game, because these drivers are tested a lot, but also take much longer (sometimes months) until they are “up to date” and stable again.

Likewise, the “bells and whistles” you mentioned are bug fixes that are important, as well as optimized adaptations for newly released games so that you can enjoy them, which has nothing to do with “advertising”.

You'll be one of the first noobs to cry when something doesn't work right away.

Just educate yourself a little and read technews, alternatively you can also use a search engine that will say the same thing. But you're probably totally out of your depth, from what I can see from your text.
Oh and there is also the possibility to ask an AI, it will tell you the same as already, but “hey” education and all that^^

Because of ignorant fools like you, there's a lot of useless jabber and untruths on the net, which doesn't help anyone except your puny ego, so don't spread your lies here.

Alternatively, you can test it yourself by buying a new game on day one and then using an outdated studio driver - lol, I'd love to see that.^^

Learn to read and understand technology and stick to your console.
God let it rain brains, i am so disappointed in you.

Have a nice day.

Doing a copy and paste of the official use of the drivers isn't exactly teaching anything.

Let's instead look at facts and see if we can derive a theory on why the studio driver may be better for some even in gaming.

Now the fact is many Nvidia users are experiencing issues with the latest drivers, GPU drivers are one of the most complex programs in the world and have to interact with a lot of programs and systems.

Now it could be a lot of issues are arising from software conflicts outside gaming with programs people are installing and if this is the case you could understand the studio driver offering better stability seen as it has more focus on software conflicts and software interactions for stability.

Now I use the latest Nvidia game driver on a fully up to date Win11 on a 50 series GPU, worst case scenario in some peoples eyes but it runs like a dream with no issues, but on my gaming PC I have nothing installed really beyond Steam, Discord and Virtual Desktop so it's a super clean system, could be why I see no issues as I have nothing but gaming related programs on there, well just a theory anyway as that's all we can do as Nvidia never tells what the issue is.

It's not just a simple copy and paste. The Ai searches for data records against a monitarization, otherwise it would be advertising. For this you have to understand how Chat GPT works, so contrary to your statement, what I posted is correct and also important.

You talk about facts first, but don't mention any, strange.

Likewise that many users have problems, which can also be those who have no idea what they are actually doing with their computer and do not understand the standard know hows.
So it could also be, as I have already written, that people are playing a new game and using an outdated Studio driver. Then I just have to switch on my brain and think about why errors occur.

Personally, I've been using Nvidia hardware for almost 20 years and have only had two really big problems. 1 week later I installed the new Game Ready driver and the problem was solved because the fix was also in the description. So it is always important to read.

Otherwise, just buy a console if you are incapable of doing so.
In over 80% of cases it is the user who does something wrong.

The consensus is leaning towards Nvidia driver version 566.36

I am also thinking about updating to this specific driver for the GTX 1080Ti as it has many favoring reviews (but some negative reviews as well).

I am currently using the Nvidia hotfix driver (Studio version) 560.94

Not had any driver issues on my 5060ti or 5090 when I tested it.

As for updating drivers for the 1080ti, I don't think the drivers if the last few years have any notable changes for it, if the cards working, leave them alone.

Edit.
The majority have had no issues with 50 series and drivers, but that doesn't get clicks and make the news, it is a small minority which appear to of actually had issues.

You do continue to show a lack of comprehension for the written word.

No where did I say issues did not happen, only that they were no where near as far spread as some would have you believe.

Im not sure what you are referencing exactky or how it is connected to what I said, but, that does not seem to be anything new.

The drivers haven't all been bad since the launch of 50 series. It's been recently

I'm using the version 572.83 on my RTX 5080 FE. It works just fine. I had jump back to that version after one newer one after that one was causing problems.

But since I've been on GTX 1070 -> 3080 FE to now 5080 FE.
It's only been a couple of drivers that have caused instability. Easily fixed by installing an older one.
