I still don't trust Nvidia's driver release notes after months of performance issues
Nvidia has faced significant criticism over its recent driver updates, particularly the GeForce driver 595.71, which caused performance issues for many users. The update led to a notable drop in overclocking performance and other technical problems, prompting Nvidia to release a hotfix. Despite these efforts, many users remain skeptical about the reliability of Nvidia's driver release notes.
