Windows 11 2022 Update is here and it seems to be causing problems. Because IT security news site Bleepingcomputer

reported
that Nvidia graphics card owners complain about performance drops when gaming. It was basically known that Windows 11 Fall Update would lead to performance loss: Windows 11: New update costs performance. However, these were effects on the processors.

he complains
: ”

I just updated to 22H2 and am now dealing with extremely unstable FPS in all of my games. I have good gaming specs and have never seen any issues before (Ryzen 3600, 1070 TI, 16GB RAM). The games are basically unplayable

“Increase the process priority in Windows Task Manager: right-click, details, right-click again, priority. Then the CPU usage of this process should no longer be throttled.” The user suspects that this is part of the new “Green Power Delivery garbage” (as he puts it) that Microsoft has announced. And more: “By increasing it in stages until the stuttering stopped, I was able to fix my stuttering issues in Final Fantasy XIV. When everyone started mentioning that their processor was capped at 5% for each game, I got excited thinking about the limit of power”.

However, Microsoft has not yet confirmed whether this user assumption is correct.

Nvidia is already investigating
