sunryze Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) I've talked about this before but its never been this bad. I love the aero theme on Windows 7 and its great, but when im playing games my framerate gets really unstable. More specifically, the game says its running at 60FPS, but in reality it looks like 25. It then keeps bouncing between 30 and 60 back and forth randomly. Is this due to 3 monitors, drivers, or something else? I love Windows 7 and this is the only thing that really pushes me into using Windows 10 again.

sunryze Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 Fixed the issue by disabling aero transparency, but still using aero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a well known situation when Nvidia slows down the older gens in favour of the newer ones. I don't know if it's done on purpose or not , but for me it's a fact. I'm still running 344.xx from 2014 and there are no better drivers yet . I've tested almost all available. You'd better use something closer to the release date of you card or up to 1 year of it's production. Also , it's a fairytale about "newest" drivers and whatnot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I thought updating it to the latest would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pubg, COD, Rocket league, cyberpunk heck even GTA V requires at least 360.xx cause the older ones caused black stripes on characters. Having the latest one is necessary for playing modern titles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixel Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) @Tonny52 , what the previous poster wrote is absolutely irrelevant . 1 - GTA V : You couldn't get such old drivers installed, 'cause they are too old for this card. So why he even mentioned about 36.x.x !? 2 - Cyberpunk 2077 (is this a mockery of some kind ? It's pretty obvious that the card is too weak for this) . 3 - "Having the latest one is necessary for playing modern titles" . No , it's not . See why . It's a well known thingy - developers from Eastern Europe love to force people to the newest drivers , like in this case . But what do we get in return ? Cyberpunk 2077 is a buggy , totally unplayable game . So let them "update" their drivers and play themsleves their "games". 4 - I have a good example of a modern game with absolutely outstanding graphics - Iron Harvest. It runs on drivers from 2013 - 2014 without any bugs ! But these develepors are from Western Europe (Germany). Feel the difference . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Art_Games Some links to the sources: "Investors sue Cyberpunk 2077 developers because game is unplayable": https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/gaming/investors-sue-cyberpunk-2077-developer-because-game-is-unplayable/ar-BB1cd85u You may try driver 382.33 , if you want smth newer - 416.34 , 418.81 are the best from the new , not good as the older ones , of course. (will be slower). Don't forget to remove telemetry before the installation with Nvidia slimmer . And use DDU to delete the previous drivers in SAFE mode . https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRAPHICS-BOARD/NVIDIA/NVIDIA-GeForce-Graphics-Driver-382-33.shtml Edited March 12, 2021 by Dixel added links 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had quite a good experience with them in the past , they are well optimised .
