Nvidia drivers are causing issues again. Less than a week since users started reporting that driver version 595.59 was causing graphics card fans to stop working, a new driver release intended to fix those issues - version 595.71 - is now causing cards to run at lower voltages, power levels, and clock speeds, resulting in as much as 16% lower performance. Nvidia's track record for driver stability has been impressive, particularly in more recent years, leading to many users trusting new releases to be stable and performant, particularly those that are billed as Game Ready and released in time to support new games. However, this release of two quite drastically problematic drivers in quick succession could start to erode that trust.
