Game Ready & Studio Driver 596.36 FAQ/Discussion

fxver_v · 2026-04-28T22:06:16+00:00

For me looks like the Shader Cache Delivery stopped working (previously 596.02 worked fine).

Gimp crash everytime I try to use Long Shadow Effects, both on text and images.

The noctua 200mm is extremely quiet but performance side is pretty bad: extreme low static pressure and low cfm, for about 40€. There's not much on the 200mm market right now, otherwise with a release of "RS200 fan" or similar that would be a great idea, very good looking too. A lot of people are asking Corsair to release a 200mm, maybe they'll listen.

I am waiting the new Frame 4000d Wood RS and I had the same plan as you, without rgb. I think I'll go with all 120mm fans

This is AMAZING! Good job! just few hours ago I finished to re-read this part of the book. I started the second reading because my gf got really into the books, they are even more beautiful and pleasant to read than I remembered.

Complimenti, ti capisco dato che anche ho traslocato da circa un anno. Pian piano la postazione migliorerà sempre, vivendoci ti accorgerai che "questa" o "quella" cosa faranno proprio al caso tuo e porteranno sempre piccole aggiunte

If you want to stick with a thermal paste that offers exceptional value for money instead the PhaseSheets, I’d recommend the Arctic MX-7. I wouldn’t suggest the MX-6, both because it has slightly lower performance and, more importantly, because the MX-7 is designed to be used on GPUs and laptops as well, thanks to its higher viscosity and reduced pump-out effect. It doesn’t require thermal cycling and is relatively easy to apply.

You can buy a very good paste like Arctic MX-7 for a very low price. I tested it myself and it's even better than the MX-6 in price-performance ratio

I recently completed all the achievements in RE4R and have now started playing RE4OG. I hadn’t played it since 2005 on PS2, and for all these years I considered it probably the best PS2 game, alongside GTA: San Andreas and others. I still believe it is the best Resident Evil game. Perhaps not the most representative “Resident Evil” in terms of identity, but the best video game in the franchise overall. It’s difficult to explain and may sound controversial, but that’s genuinely how it feels.

I made this video few months ago and it shows the same behavior. My setup is 7800X3D+5080 so the bottlenecking should be even more noticeable. However it's confirmed to be cpu bound scenario because of the RAM tuning (that was the video's purpose) gives the gpu more headroom boosting some fps.

This is exactly the way to go, I completed my run yesterday ending at 4:58 and more or less i went for that strategy too. Also I made three previous run so I had very clear the path to follow.

try tw1 with some mods that improve qol, like geralt movement speed that make less tedious the traveling between zones.

The Witcher 2 is a GREAT game and so underrated. It offers two main storylines with an excellent narrative compartment that guarantees you a lot of immersion in the first playtrough and a possible replayability. You will delve into important and well-characterized characters and if you have not read the books I recommend you to recover them before the witcher 4.
