Out of Options (FIXED)

[Ashy2874]

Hey guys,

 

I did a clean install of windows 10 on a new ssd with the latest update of windows 10 and latest nvidia gpu driver. Test out the game that I always play and I lose around 30 fps, before I was hovering around 60-80 fps. I switched back to old ssd and fps maintained between 60-80 fps. So right now I'm at dead end, what should I do?

Clone the old SSD onto the new one.

Was there something especially wrong with the old setup? I assumed you were just replacing the SSD, perhaps for better speeds, or due to wear?

 

Personally, stick to W10 1909, rather than 2004 - I have seen several reports of that upgrade going badly, as well as 2004 to 2009. Probably worth sticking to 1909 until 2009 is 4-6 months old.

just my gpu driver isn't the latest, the july update, would that be the issue?

Maybe? If it were me, I'd use W10 1909 and start with the same nvidia driver as the old SSD has. Then only upgrade the GFX driver, not Windows, and see how that does. If you need an ISO link for 1909, this one will work for 24hrs:

Thanks, I'll try using the previous gpu driver and see how it goes. If it doesn't work, then I'll try Windows version rollback

Nvm i fixed it, truly an apple/samsung move with what nvidia did. I just rollback 1 driver update, currently on august so I roll to July, and boom, FIXED. Meaning, this is the last update for the nvidia drivers till 3000 series comes out
