Apparently Nvidia is GPU Gimping

[XeanWolf20]

A video that will be linked later is stating that NVidia is "gimping cards", or making them run slower then they was before. ALL of the tests show a 5-1 FPS difference in benchmarks. HOW does 5 FPS mean that they are being gimped. IT DOESN'T. They may of updated something on the new RTX that MAY of ruined a extremely small performance hit but to say they are gimping WTF, of cause it is possible but they have never done this before as far as I know. But would they really need to. The 1080TI is an insane card as it is. Loosing 5 FPS might possibly not even be a drivers fault it might be something else software on the PC running in the background or something with the hardware they was swapping in and out cards so something could of happened you can't say after test 3 card on 5ish game that they are gimping! LINUS HELP can you do some ACTUAL investigating on this?

1) Post doesn't meet posting guidelines

2) You're 100% correct, what he is saying is nonsense. It's usually best to ignore videos like these, don't give them attention and they go away.

I hate people who create click bait videos. It's just annoying to see and I hate it even more that YouTube thinks that I want to see those when I have never clicked on one but yet they keep suggesting them.

PLEASE note spelling errors above, underlined and fixed how they should be. I'm not trying to be a dick, I promise, I am just prone to be triggered by stuff like this. So posting in the hope you will just take the help needed

I have only underlined the glaring mistakes, not the grammar as a whole.

I ran a quick Rise of the Tomb Raider benchmark before and after I installed the 411.70 and my avg FPS actually went up by 1. Yeah, sure, one game and all that but I don't feel like my GPU's slowed down. My Shadow of the Tomb Raider bench is also the same.

 

I laughed at that guy being so excited when he saw those 1fps differences as if that weren't within margin of error.

@UFDisciple care to comment a bit more on that?
