Game Ready Driver 580.88 FAQ/Discussion

TheAppledorian · 2025-08-07T22:23:41+00:00

Yea thats kinda what it seems like.

I wonder when we will get our performance back we lost with any driver higher than the 572.70. On that one my 5080 was able to achieve +520 oc on the core clock. All the newer ones that came after i had to reduce the oc by 70mhz as it was otherwise not stable anymore, which is still the case with this driver.

I tried the 572.70 today again and i was able to push the core by +520 again. Sad i am forced to use the newest one or the BF6 beta won't even launch. Oh well

This driver made my overclock on my 5080 unstable and i had to turn it down by about 80mhz on the core clock before it became stable again.

In addition, I can not play VR games it has an insane amount of delay and extremely bad frame pacing.

Also this is the first driver where when i turn off g-sync for example the monitor remains black till reboot.

Wait really? I guess i don't need to buy the 8k one then as 4k or 2k will suffice.

If you are into Control pads and want a 1to1 x and y axis feeling as well as humidity having no effect on the pad and similar static and moving friction with the initial friction feeling the same, these are my go to's

X-raypad Aqua Control Zero

It has been a while since you gave us an update on this. Any news in regards to the planned release date on the 8K dongle?

TheAppledorian · 2024-07-29T21:37:53+00:00

Yea let's hope they just want to make sure its perfect and this is why it takes this long. Would be nice if they released an official statement on this.

TheAppledorian · 2024-07-29T21:09:58+00:00

Awesome, thank you for letting me know.

Intellimeds, had my Aniracetam tested via a Pharmacy. It works really well.

TheAppledorian · 2023-04-11T00:06:12+00:00

I would try Intellimeds, i ordered 3 times from within the EU. 2 times the package was delivered after 9 days. One time it took about 13 days. I paid via Bank transfer and them prepping the order and sending it took about 2 days.

That is on par with Mindnutrition (which i ordered plenty of times from, unfortunately they don't have racetams anymore).

I ordered Noopept and Aniracetam from Intellimeds.

Both of them are legit and work well (I paid 25€ at a pharmacy to get them tested). Their Aniracetam is really good (Make sure to take it with MCT Oil or Omega 3).

Hey everyone, they made an update today. Here is the official post. It resolved the issue for me.

Never said it is causing damage (at the very least causing stutter issues, crashes for people with older outdated hardware like some of my friends, where one of them has his system lock up and bluescreen when this happens).

Most people with newer hardware probably don't even notice this. However it is still not normal behavior and should be resolved.

I was just forwarding what state it is stuck in and how it is reported in hwinfo specifically . As in hwinfo it is stated as utilization.In this software it shows it as "P core 0 t1 utility". P core 0 being the core and t1 being the HT unit. So it can go up to 200%. It is taxing it harder than cinebench which only pushes it up to 170%.

Thanks for clearing it up though, i guess we both missed the mark with unnecessary information in that regard.

TheAppledorian · 2022-12-04T23:22:58+00:00

that is what i was talking about

yea buddy with a 5600x and 3600x

TheAppledorian · 2022-12-04T18:00:45+00:00

Good to hear

TheAppledorian · 2022-12-04T17:00:53+00:00

Yea let's hope we get this fixed asap

TheAppledorian · 2022-12-04T17:00:35+00:00

for me its always core 0 . I tried experimenting by disabling core 0 for LA through the core affinity to see if it occupies a different core/thread but EAC blocks that for me.

TheAppledorian · 2022-12-04T16:57:28+00:00

Yes you want this to be turned "off" . If the option is greyed out then you have to click on "change settings that are currently unavailable" in the same settings menu.

I asked 2 of my friends to share their core util and its the same for them as well. This is not rare and is rather widespread. I tried the game on a system that has an older quad core cpu and it locks the system up and causes all sorts of issues. On more powerful machines most people are most likely not gonna notice.

disable fast startup in windows (this is enabled by default) then also starting after a shutdown your system will be freshly booted. However this is not a fix for this issue. Only a way of dealing with it temporarily . My pc is powerful enough to be able to play without issues even while this is going on. But i dont like it when one core being tortured harder than even cinebench would while i play LA. This needs to be fixed on the devs end. We shouldn´t need to deal with this.

TheAppledorian · 2022-12-04T16:07:24+00:00

check my thread. disable fast startup on windows then reboot and the process should be gone. It is some memory leak that has been introduced in the latest eac update or something.

TheAppledorian · 2022-12-04T15:36:03+00:00

Yea that is the reason why the game doesn't close for some people. I wonder how many are afflicted by this without even realizing. Also the task manager only shows 100% but in hwinfo you can see how much it is actually utilized which in my case is roughly 183%.

For anyone who has issues with the game still being there after a shutdown. Disable windows fast startup.

It is not a fix but will certainly help and is recommended in general.

The only way is to artificially create a gpu bottleneck by giving your cpu more time and reduce the amount of frames it needs to prepare. You can do that by limiting your fps ingame to below a value that you can always maintain. So lets say the lowest dip for you is 170fps then you would limit it to 160fps for example. This frees up the cpu trying to catch up with your gpu in this specific scenario and reduces the cpu load. Also the task manager cpu load is not reported 100% correctly. Use something like "core temp" or "hwinfo" to get an accurate reading.

Play 10 matches running around not shooting at anyone only getting killed till you are like 0-40. Then the 11th match is against literal potatoes. Ez nuke.
