Significant drop in the number of frames on the NVIDIA 3080 on latest Canary builds
- Apr 23, 2025
The issue does not occur on version 27842. At the moment, I consider it to be solved in the indicated Canarian compilation.
1. Update the graphics card driver: Open NVIDIA GeForce Experience to check and install the latest graphics card driver. Visit the official NVIDIA website to download and install the latest drivers.
2. Rollback to previous driver: If the problem occurs after updating the driver, you can rollback to the previous version:
Open Device Manager and expand Display Adapters.
Right-click on the NVIDIA 3080 and select “Properties” > “Drivers” > “Rollback Drivers”.
3. Adjust the Power Management Mode: Open the NVIDIA Control Panel and navigate to “Manage 3D Settings”.
Set the Power Management Mode to Highest Performance Priority.
4. Disable Game Mode: Open Settings > Games > Game Mode and turn off Game Mode. Disable “Game Mode”.
5. Check for Windows updates: Open “Settings” > “Windows Updates” and check for and install all available updates.
If the problem occurs after an update, you can choose to “Rollback to previous version”.
6. Use Clean Start: Press Win + R, type msconfig and enter.
In the “Services” tab, check “Hide all Microsoft services” and click “Disable all”.
In the “Startup” tab, click “Open Task Manager” and disable all startup items.
Restart your computer and check if the problem is resolved.
7. Contact Microsoft Support: If the issue is still not resolved, submit the issue through Microsoft Support.
Provide detailed error messages and screenshots to quickly diagnose the problem.
The described problem is not caused by the driver version or changes in the card parameter settings because it appeared together with the already described d3d9.dll problem identified on Windows 11 Canary versions from 27802 and above and is probably related to it.
I am currently using driver version 572.70 released on March 5.
