Nvidia driver 560.81

[mmike87]

I assume some of you have tried nvidia driver 560.81, that came out a few days ago? After installing via the Nvidia App and rebooting a couple days ago I noticed my performance in DCS and Cyberpunk 2077 PL was severely degraded. In DCS I was showing severely CPU bound and my frame rate was 45 or less (normally 90 most of the time). My Cyberpunk framerate was cut almost by 2/3.

I rolled back and problem solved in both games. Just wondering if anyone experienced anything similar? The latest drivers actually seem pretty popular, especially with the MSFS folks.

It's not you . . . I've experienced the same in the last three updates.  I rolled back to 552.44 and stay there for now . . . it works well for me.  Might not for another?

in vr all good, better than last 2 versions.

Not a huge difference in performance but 552.44 is still better than 560.81 for me.  Getting a GPU Frametime increase of 0.15 ms on average with 560.1 compared to 552.44.

Performance drop in DCS and Cyberpunk 2077.

7800X3D and 4090.

Holy crap! That's it, the bad driver 560.81. I installed this too and DCS became unplayable in VR. Now I've just installed 560.70 again. And it's much better now. THANKS

Yo guys,

Nvidia released their latest game ready driver 560.94.

However, after installation I noticed color band glitches - part of the screen that became distorted and flashing 
As soon as I switched off DLSS it went away. I was monitoring the graphics card performance to make sure it was working OK with the Nvidia overlay for performance
and that seemed fine: stable temp, FP as usual. Which let me to believe it was more a driver software issue (especially because I could turn off DLSS and make it distortion go away)

Now I was playing the Isle when I noticed it but reading the remarks of previous comments I am not confident that this new driver solves the issues/bad performance also for DCS.
I too found that 560.81 became unplayable in DCS (VR) and that was why I looked in here to see if any posts were made.

Anyway, we know the CH74 and afghanistan need some performace tweaking still I have also decided to revert back to the 560.70 as it seems more stable.
I thought I wanted to share this...

Are you running on the latest DLSS version?

i am getting the hourglass very, very often in campaign missions with VR, after installing the latest which is Nvidia GeForce 560.94 WHQL driver. Before this new driver not so much. I looked to see what the consensus is, I think the issue I have is the new driver. I think I am going to roll back.

Might roll back to 552.44 . Give it ago .
