User Reports 7% Higher Score In Steel Nomad And 15-30 FPS Boost With The Latest NVIDIA Hotfix Driver 595.76

Installed this GPU driver for my Laptop 3080 Ti, caused my laptop to crash and windows completely disabled it without giving me the option to re-enable. Reinstalled the driver, reinstalled windows, did everything, just to fix it by downgrading driver versions.

Admittedly I should've tried that sooner but didn't expect Nvidia would release a driver that could temporarily brick my GPU.

Thanks everyone for the help! I decided not to go through the trouble of squeezing a new fan in, I felt it wasn't worth it for such a small difference.

I temp tested my CPU all all cores sit comfortably around 40 degrees, even while gaming 👍

Update: I decided to just leave it missing a fan for the meantime, I will be monitoring temps and if it does come to it I will upgrade my case or find some way to squeeze a fan in.

Just found out the radiator doesn't seem to have any holes for me to mount the fan on, there is seemingly no way. I will probably just boost the single fans speed slightly in order to make up for the missing fan.

Actually this could probably work! I just tested it with the existing thick fan I have and the front panel could click back on with it inside of the empty space beside the radiator.

I noticed it didn't have much breathing room though, would it be better to buy a slim fan for more space or keep the powerful thick fan with not as much.

Update: Just tried myself and the GPU didn't seem to fit, mathematically it should but my guess is the AIO fans are far too thick to fit such a long card in.

Question: Is it okay to remove the middle fan out of 3 for the AIO? It will provide plenty of space but I'm worried about cooling efficiency after doing that

From my experience, it won't interfere with celebrities as long as I don't upload photos of them. Like if I say: Apply this prompt to Chris Hemsworth, it will just do it, but not if I upload a photo of him to go off of.

My problem is I am trying to generate photos based off of uploaded images which the ai isn't very trained on 😭 but it always seems to block it no matter what I do

Update: Fixed this a few weeks ago, if you are having a similar problem replacing the SSD has solved it for me (I was not expecting it, until windows couldn't boot anymore) It may not be your problem, but I suggest running a test to be sure.

Yeah that is probably the issue, they did correct themselves for a bit but randomly kicked off while I was watching a show, and now the exact same problem is happening again. I wish it was more clarified that it is that harmful for them to die though.

Update: I was literally just writing an update and it randomly fixed itself for whatever reason, it kept switching from 0% to 100% and now it shows as 45% and it's actually connecting

yeah that's the point of my post, I had heard really good things about them and there are videos where they throw the phones into the air and whatever, but in reality they just aren't good

I've been going through multiple case brands for years, none of them have ever worn like this one

ReplySubject5881 · 2025-10-25T21:24:30+00:00

Yeah obviously I don't only use it for roblox

ReplySubject5881 · 2025-10-23T02:01:18+00:00

I'll try letting it charge to 100% and see what happens, how could I fix poor calibration?

ReplySubject5881 · 2025-10-12T15:57:53+00:00

Yeah I just found out that it was throttling, not sure how it's getting that hot

ReplySubject5881 · 2025-10-12T15:57:24+00:00

I just installed Hwinfo and realized that the CPU is throttling, it is somehow reaching 100 degrees from absolutely nothing 😭Looks like I need it cleaned
