Hello.

I usually play AAA games with no issues given that my target resolution is 1080p. I have found out that any driver beyond 560.94 (offered by Windows Update) has got worse performance, the latest ones being 581.80 and 581.94 HotFix.

What is your experience?

On my RTX 2070 I use 560.94 as well. Probably for similar reasons.

You can disable drivers included with Windows updates... and install any driver you like.
Grur3D has all the drivers.





DDU Instructions - Nvidia
1. First, do Option #2, step #3 and onward, here...
www.elevenforum.com

Enable or Disable Include Drivers with Windows Updates in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable including drivers with Windows Updates in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Windows Update will include drivers when available in Windows 11 by default. You can enable the Do not include drivers with Windows Updates policy to not include drivers...
www.elevenforum.com www.elevenforum.com
2. This will block MS from including drivers in Windows Updates.
3. They'll still be listed in the Optional Updates, if you ever need them.


1. Get this program, here: Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) | Wagnardsoft ...get the latest version, and save it to your desktop.
2. Get the Nvidia WHQL vid card driver here... https://www.guru3d.com/files/category/videocards-nvidia-geforce-windows-7-8-10/ ...save this to your desktop.
3. Unhook the internet completely.
4. Reboot into Safe Mode and run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) choose the "Highly Recommend Option", and just do what it tells you.
5. After it's done, reboot to normal mode, then just double click the Nvidia driver to install.
[See pics below]. If it want's to reboot, let it.
Rehook the internet.
