I've noticed that my RTX 2060 Super has seriously dropped in performance since the latest Nvidia driver was released. Games that used to run smoothly, like Forza Horizon 5 and Cyberpunk 2077, are now struggling. I've tried a clean reinstall of the drivers, but it hasn't made a difference. In benchmarks like Superposition, my card seems to be underperforming as well. I'm not sure if it's just the driver or if there's something else going on with my system. Any advice on diagnosing this would be greatly appreciated, especially since this PC was my first build almost 5 years ago and was running great until recently.

I've had similar issues with my 3080 while playing Monster Hunter Wilds. The game kept crashing, but after downgrading to the June drivers, it's been running smoothly since.
The best move might be to revert to one of the older verified drivers. I've learned to avoid new updates unless absolutely necessary.
I'm sticking to the drivers from last December for now. Until Nvidia sorts out these current driver issues, I don't plan on updating again.
I've found that the 566.36 driver works better for non-RTX 50 series cards. I'm using a 5080 myself, and it's been tough with those driver updates this year.
Thanks for the tip! I think I might downgrade, though it's frustrating how Nvidia is making older cards less usable with these updates.
