With this Windows update the demo racing does run better for me, though it already wasn't that bad with the latest Nvidia drivers. But with loading screens I still get unbelievable levels of hitching, to the extent that even the audio gets distorted. The demo can't even play the post-race advertising videos without hitching! This is on an SSD, GTX 970, recommended settings. You could argue this doesn't affect gameplay, I guess, but I find it really distracting and ugly. It severely hurts the experience.
I might try out Horizon 3 later, but honestly I've never figured out a good way to casually benchmark that. I've fired it up before, played for hours thinking it was better, only to have issues the very next session.
For what little it's worth I seemed to get somewhat better performance in Ghost Recon Wildlands, and maybe slightly faster loading times in Guild Wars 2. This Windows update does seem quite good, but I wouldn't personally expect the apparent miracles promised by the thread title.
cool, does it fix the 2-3 second freeze every lap? because if so then i might buy it.
and no doubt i'll get people coming in with "doesn't happen for me!!" well it does for me so those kinda posts aren't constructive.
What sort of answer are you possibly looking for here? You want people to say yes but you also don't want to hear yes?
