Nvidia GeForce 531.18 driver bug causes higher CPU usage; company acknowledges issue

No, they just help you not install crap you don't want/need.

 

I noticed a good few degrees on my 5900X and also have not installed GFE.

Playing Overwatch 2 my CPU was generally around the 55-60C range now its around 64-69C.

I thought it was because I went back to Win10 and that it was using more CPU resources, then this issue was found.

Reverted back to previous drivers around 1 hour ago and the temps are back to normal 55-60C.

 

I installed with NVcleanstall, all good here... has to be one of those 300 other files staying open... like GFE or shadow play or some crap

 

I don't have the issue, but I heavily remove all the junk from the driver as you can see.

 

At least they're not hosing your Windows

 

It doesn't seem like it occurs on windows 11

 

Seems like this is a thing.I didn't even notice until I read this post. Kinda hard to notice on 36 cores because 5% doesn't really spin up the fans/pump.

 

What games were you playing, i don't want to be left out.

 

The NVidia container service can be changed to "Manually" and is mostly only needed if you need to access the Nvidia control panel.

 

Haven't really played games in a few years. I use the pc to shoot ads inside of GTA V. It's pretty much all it does.

 

i have HAGS disabled i dont know if that matters, (its the only thing i did dif than most here i bet) and i see no cpu increase on windows 11. specs are updated on profile.

 

I think you can disable game settings "optimization" in GFE. I wonder if that fixes it.

 

531.26 hotfix is out
