Windows 10: Nvidia’s 436.02 driver reportedly causing performance issues

Nvidia’s 436.02 GPU driver, which is the most significant GPU driver update in a long time, reportedly causes performance issues when playing games like CSGO (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive).

According to posts on Reddit, Nvidia 436.02 GPU driver reportedly reduces the FPS and some users have also benchmarked the before and after results to compare the impact of the update.

According to a user, the FPS benchmark with NVIDIA 431.60 driver was 329.95, but it has reduced to 267.75 FPS with the newest driver and low latency on, while the low latency mode is offering an FPS of just 232.30.

“I’m using an old GT650M laptop which is fine for casual gaming in 1024×768. Right above the comfortable 100fps mark. However one day for some reason my driver updated and performance tanked. Unfortunately I couldn’t remember the exact version I was on before so I had to try lots… one wonders what they do,” a user documented the problem.

“Before update it was average 200 and above (on same server). Very noticable once fps dips on a 240hz monitor, the tearing is super horrible,” another user noted.

It’s not just CSGO


According to other posts on Nvidia’s community forum (1, 2, 3), users are also experiencing performance slowdown when playing other popular titles.

“Theres some as yet unidenfitied performance issues in this new driver that nvidia need to work through, Dx12 has some sort of memory leak and quite a few DX11/9 games are not telling the driver properly what Prerender amount they want to actually use,” a user explained the other performance issues with the update.

NVIDIA DRIVER 307.83

The issue still the same.

I went to NVIDIA Web site and they suggested to download a new driver

GE force 353.62. I was able to downloaded but was not able to install it due to:

"NVIDIA Installer cannot continue this graphic driver could not find compatible graphic hardware"

I don't know what to do anymore

Any other suggestion?

 

SLi causing a reduction in performance!

Ok, I think I have fixed the issue. NeoCrisis was correct, the driver was not installing correctly for the second card, causing the clock speeds to run at 400MHz core and memory.

To fix the issue I followed the steps listed here.

After doing that I re-installed the 177.92 drivers, and both cards are not reported correctling in GPU-z and Nvidia control panel. I'm just running some tests now to confirm that they are actually running correctly. I'll edit this post when the benchmarks are done to let you know if it really did work.
