Rdr2 it runs at 70w on hogwarts it runs 260-320 but fps is so much lower.

#

It says it’s it is but on the graph on msi afterburner it only shows max of 78

Display Driver Uninstaller

:one: Download the driver for your GPU from the manufacturer's website using the links below, but don't install them yet.
:two: Download the latest version of DDU by clicking the button below, clicking on the top post which is called "Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) VXX.X.X.X Released", and clicking ***Official Download Here*** in that post.
:three: Disconnect from the Internet by unplugging your ethernet cable or turning off WiFi in the bottom-right corner.
:four: Open the program you just downloaded, choose a location for DDU to be saved, then click Extract
:five: Open the Start Menu, click the power icon then hold Shift on your keyboard and click Restart. Once your PC has restarted, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart, and press 4 to load into safe mode.
:six: Find the folder you extracted DDU into and open Display Driver Uninstaller.
:seven: On the right side, select the type as GPU, and the brand as the manufacturer of your GPU. Then, click 'Clean and Restart'.
:eight: Once you have loaded back into Windows, install the GPU drivers you downloaded earlier. Once they have installed, connect back to the Internet.

Will give this a go thanks. Just strange as I’ve used this driver for a while and had no issues, and suddenly having issues.

#

Getting a few errors to so will try this tonigut

#

Will update you tonight, I know my 3d mark yesterday was saying about a timing measurement inconsistency but I did it again and it provided me with a legit result.

No luck

#

I think something is knackered

#

My vram maybe?

#

If it is my card since it’s a new machine you reckon I can get it sorted?

#

Cyberpunk seems to run but doesn’t look as visually good but performance seemed to be there.

#

And I know last night when I was on hogwarts legacy I noticed I didn’t have the same level of performance and the game also doesn’t look as good as it did.

I am getting a decent score on 3d mark which is certainly odd

#

Like 29-31k

#

Yesterday had some errors on it to do with timining and that.

#

Sorry will look into it more tonigut, just get so nervous when something goes wrong lol.

#

An example is I had been using nvidia dlaa on hogwarts too as it looked better, and I was getting good fps, and yesterday I was getting 64 so had to change to dlss

Are there any good tests to test the cards functionality?

#

Will also try deleting windows dx shader cache

#

Just a bit of a coincidence how I had an issue with hogwarts and rdr2 with performance and errors.

#

Could be a coincidence with the hogwarts patch and a patch for rdr2.

#

Will show some pictures of gpu usage, clock speed and power consumption when I am home, as that could indicate something is not right.

#

How can I test my vram on my card?

#

My gpu does make a weird noise now like a constant one pitch noise

#

Switching to Vulkan stopped that error on rdr2
