Creator's Update causing game stutters

[moonbogg]

Its all over the web. Games stutter and frames drop since the update. The fabulous game mode is a joke. This update wrecked performance. Anyone concur or have any solutions?

A fair number of people have been pointing fingers at nVidia stating that rolling back to older drivers resolved the performance issues seen after the CU. I know I had to reinstall mine because it jacked up DSR completely.

I concur. I've been unable to watch 4K60 VP9 videos on YouTube at full frame rate (they drop massive frames when full screen, and run at 30 FPS windowed).

And now, I've noticed that my browser "smooth-scrolling" is choppy, even with only a few tabs open.

It didn't used to be this bad.

Edit: Using newest non-beta 4664 Intel iGPU drivers for Win10 64-bit.

For the racing simulators I run, very weird things were happening. For instance, in Assetto Corsa, I would shift my Lotus into 4th gear, and there was no acceleration -- just gradual deceleration.

I turned "Game Mode" off, and everything was fine. How this relates to frame rates or anything else, I cannot tell. But you'd have to ask "What the hell does 'Game Mode' actually DO?!"

It didn't do anything for me . . . .

Can't remember if I installed it before or after trying the Forza Demo... but I did notice some graphical anomalies with the AMD drivers; couldn't fix it.

my guess is that post-CU drivers will most likely yield better results but I'm assuming many have already tried that (probably as a first counter measure). game mode have anything to do with hardware acceleration?

IIRC, setting Power Saving to Performance solved issues with Ryzen systems. Maybe that will work for you, if the option is available at least. That option doesn't exist for my system, so might be Ryzen specific..

I think the update completely ruined the gaming experience on my desktop. Everything was peachy before it, took a few weeks of after beating ME:A and now all games have FPS issues. The only change was the CU and installing the latest version of drivers didn't help. Even did the clean install option. About ready to format and start over.

Why ? If all indications are correct then reinstalling will change nothing unless you can find a pre CU win 10 and then not allow an upgrade.There is a fall CU in the pipeline . I am hoping for video remedy from that direction.

Maybe MS is now streaming all of our desktops to Redmond, or the NSA, or wherever.

Why else would screen / game / video framerates suffer this badly under the CU update?

Or you could just look at it logically instead of going straight for the tinfoil hat and realize it's because they're dicking around with video rendering and conflicting with drivers. As I mentioned in my initial reply, several people have reported rolling back to an old driver resolved the issue. Personally using DDU to clean out existing drivers and installing the latest one from nVidia resolved all the issues I had which was primarily DSR not working anymore.

I had to make video card driver adjustments with all the big updates so far (a.k.a. updated to the latest one). A pain for sure, but hardly the end of the world. No issues after the update. Older drivers? Weird, but surely not something a participant in a tech forum can't handle.

I've been switching some games to windowed(borderless) mode and noticed some stuttering as well since the CU, before that I rarely ever experienced that in windowed mode. In Assetto Corsa I simply dropped the render distance on reflections and stutter went away, for eg.
