NVIDIA GeForce 353.06 FPS drops
I'm getting 5-7 fps fewer in the latest driver. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Strange results. No more, no less fps my case and a better management of the GPU power.
in my case the 30 fps limit and transparent texture AA was disabled in my nv inspector profile after installing the driver (no clean install, no geforce experience) and physx was set to automatic instead of CPU like before (did not install physx with the driver or uninstall it).
i gained 16 % fps.
and i realized setting textures from high to medium makes it WAY more playable and smoother and settings textures to low on a 2 GB Card makes the game run like buttery smooth! strange thing is, i only gain 0.5-1 fps more when lowering textures from high to low, but it feels like gaining 30 fps! normally high textures should be no problem on a 2 gb card, but it seems this game is very badly optimized when it comes to vram usage and texture streaming / memory management.
i guess that's a reason why textures were set to low with the 1.04 update.

I too am having significant fps drops now (GTX 970 Strix). Was able to have constant 60fps except for running around in novigrad which usually dropped it to around 50-55. Now just about everywhere I go has drops down to 55 with some getting down to 40. Have changed my settings and doesn't seem to help much at all. Was running a mix of high and ultra settings with the blurs turned off as well as depth of field and no hairworks. Kinda curious as to what happened.
Id check your settings, and that your card isn't heating up, I have only seen same results or gains even on the nvidia forums where people are having really bad problems with games across the board.
Make sure you don't have shadowplay on
Make sure you didn't turn up ANY settings, I have a config that works great for 970's in my sig if you need to start somewhere.
Make sure you're not overclocking or using any kind of OSD and you're not in windowless instead of full screen.
Let me know
Well, textures look great in this game. I am talking about Ultra textures. Those are absolutely must have! Gladly I don't know what are you talking about, since I don't have any problems using ultra textures with my 2gb GPU. If you need extra fps though I would recommend setting shadows to low instead. This game has absolutely insignificant quality loss when switching from ultra to low shadows...
Also when you talk about vram actually measure it because it's only 1.5~gb of vram used when running with ultra textures. Other settings: 1080p, all post effects (including DoF which I hate personally but this game did it well), hairworks off, Foliage high, shadows high, other settings ultra. As I said 1.4-1.5 gbs of vram is used.
i could use ultra textures with my 2gb vram card, and would have only 1 fps less, that's not the problem.
i am talking about the texture "streaming". how fast textures are loaded into memory.
if your card uses 1.5gb of vram, that only means it has to swap textures a lot more often with less textures in higher quality which use more ram for a single texture which will slow down your pc. you have the same fps rendered by the graphics card, but it will not feel so smooth. it's the same with overclocking your vram, you will not gain a lot more fps, but it will feel like playing with 120 fps compared to before.
not only textures, but also shadow maps are loaded into vram and it's used for other stuff, too, so that's why it will not buffer 2gb of textures in it but only 1.5gb.
if you had 4 gb of vram it would use 3.5 gb and buffer less, you will have a smoother experience.
faster vram also improves frame times, so it will feel more steady and smooth with the same fps but a more average frametime.
Does anybody experiencing driver issues use SLI? Whenever I update my GeForce driver, SLI is always automatically disabled for me, and I have to manually re-enable it again.
