Yes it's normal, new drivers often add a little bit of performance to new cards. "up to" doesn't mean much though, they could very well have a 13% higher maximum framerate and use that as an example.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Max fps thats what I was thinking aswell.....wonder if any other games show significant improvements.. I assume they would!

 

Want to try these out aswell, if they hurry up and fix that error.

Someone with older cards like 700 series should try and see if it helps those cards aswell would be intresting to see results.....

I have that as well...i laughed so hard.

Fuck you "Experiance" give back the older Update mephod.

This is what happens when you don't use end to end data protection. If you have a lot of RAM, the error rate starts rising to the point of 1 in 40,000 (around 16GB), hence ECC for servers and workstations. When you go to re-save that data in your drive it can even flash/write incorrectly. It's amazing that computers don't fail more often.

Nvidia and AMD have never been completely honest with those claims. I'll bet those are improvements you'll get when licking a wall or staring at the sky or ground.

Yep, installed it. "Up to" is the same language ISP's use about their bandwidth, it's no guarantee at all.

Express installation through geforce experience unless you have a special circumstance.

I hit check for updates in Geforce Experience, but no updates were found. Time to do it manually I suppose. When doing it manually do you recommend I use DDU? I usually have instability with installing them over top another installation

I never knew that. Interesting!

I am conducting some polls regarding your opinion of large technology companies. I would appreciate your response.

This is so incorrect its not even funny. TechPowerUp did an article on this and over a year (which is pretty much as long as you will get performance updating drivers for) AMD cards went up on average of like 4.5% and nvidia cards 5.2% or something like that.
