Nvidia slowing down performance with new drivers

What do u guys think? I own a GTX 1070 so I'm kinda worried, I can't afford to switch to a different graphics card.

so i was legitimately reading trough that post finding something that didnt point to "windows is running more shit in the background".. i got to the end, and grinned..

 

read the thread, soak it in, 'nuff said.

yes.. nvidia will make your GPU worthless tomorrow, brace for the apocalypse...

surprisingly, GPU manufacturers are the absolute king of long term hardware support, the numbers may not be record breaking each release, but know that things are different elsewhere, i'm currently dealing with making camera drivers from 2009 play nice in windows 10. on the flip side, nvidia's GPUs from 2009 had active support until 2016. the idea they're somehow gimping last gen products is so far fetched over maybe a few % decrease, as if that would somehow boost sales of new products. its simply a matter of fixes needing to be done to the drivers, and unfortunately even nvidia cannot afford a room of wizards to make drivers from pixie dust and unicorn tears.

Already been tested. You can down load old driver and test yourself. I have some saved from 2015, all the same. There may be some bad ones but those are quickly fixed. You don't need to be updating drivers anyway unless you are getting every single new game that they pertain to.

So the question is then, why does that dudes have such a big hit then? Is he just faking it?

Its youtube, just because someone says something doesn't make it absolute. Just look at ltt videos or jay. That should tell you.

He could have faked it by underclocking his CPU(usage seems to be higher so that could be it.), he could have turned the graphic settings up on the right view. He could have underclocked his GPU. Lot's of things that could cause that. BUt no way that the performance hit is that big. I at least don't have such a hit.

my wild guess is that the drivers went wonky (it does happen, occasionally..) and instead of troubleshooting he went torches and pitchforks. if you want to believe the nvidia forums, i have the only windows 10 machine in the world with an nvidia card that doesnt make FSX crash. Yes, it does that out of the box, but it's literally one setting to flip and it runs as smooth as you'd want it to be, its up to you wether you want a working system, or "5 minutes of fame" on youtube.

So all the 'slowing down' the performance is just fake?

Yes

I think I am going to look into it myself. I know that sometimes drivers can be installed improperly causing performance hits. (maybe the he didn't uninstall the first one properly and the two conflicted with each other). If I get around to it I shall post my results here.

Every time we have looked into this it's been false... 

 

These claims come around EVERY time there is a new launch...

Indeed. This reminds me of when people were claiming Kepler was nerfed after Maxwell's launch. These days, the GTX980 and 780Ti still trade blows, so that'd be a steaming pile of bull excrement as well.

I most certainly hope so. I need this rig to last me at least another 3 years (college is expensive).
