Microsoft has begun rolling out its first main replace for Home windows 11 (taking it to model 22H2), and as you may need guessed, it is inflicting points on some PCs. Specifically, avid gamers with GeForce graphics playing cards have logged a spattering of complaints starting from unstable framerates and considerably degraded efficiency to G-Sync immediately not working.
The litany of {hardware} combos that exist within the PC area make unexpected points virtually a assure with every main Home windows replace. We see it virtually each time. Because of this Microsoft has moved to a staggered roll out fairly than making out there main updates wholesale to each Home windows person. It is also why it may be a good suggestion to keep away from making use of massive Home windows updates immediately even when the choice exists to take action.
For the 22H2 replace, complaints are beginning to pile up in a megathread on Reddit. “I simply up to date to 22H2 and I’m coping with extraordinarily unstable FPS in all my video games. I’ve good specs for gaming and have beforehand by no means seen any points (Ryzen 3600, 1070 TI, 16GB RAM). Video games are mainly unplayable,” one person wrote.
Others chimed in to say they have been experiencing the identical factor, in addition to different annoyances. One person reported “severe efficiency hitches, each on desktop and particularly in gaming,” and additional famous that the replace “fully broke G-Sync” on his PC with a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti.
One other person stated DLSS grew to become “extraordinarily granulated in a few titles,” and to make issues worse, they ran right into a blue display of dying (BSOD) error when attempting to revert.
We skilled points in Future 2 and different video games after making use of the Home windows 11 2H22 replace
We have run into issues with the newest Home windows replace ourselves. One in every of our workers members skilled vital body drops and stuttering on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7-8700K CPU, Gigabyte Z390 Designare motherboard, NVIDIA Titan XP graphics card, and 16GB of DDR4-2800. Taking part in round with completely different drivers and BIOS variations (F8 and F9) had no impact. By the way, swapping out the Titan XP for an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT made the scenario even worse, although that setup was solely examined in Future 2 which doesn’t all the time play properly with Radeon playing cards on the whole. Solely reverting again to model 21H2 resolved the problem.
Within the aforementioned megathread, an NVIDIA consultant has been asking affected customers to fill out a driver suggestions kind so the corporate can unravel the scenario. Hopefully NVIDIA and Microsoft can work out what is going on on in a well timed trend.
Within the meantime, if you happen to’re useless set on sticking with the 22H2 construct regardless of working into comparable points, be sure you’ve up to date all of your drivers. We have heard from somebody with a Ryzen 7 5800X, ASUS Crosshair VIII Hero motherboard, and ASUS Strix GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card that “updating some AMD stuff” and the ASUS Armoury Crate utility resolved their gaming points.
