New GeForce Hotfix Driver Resolves Lower Performance Bug Caused by Windows Update
NVIDIA has released a new GeForce Hotfix display driver, version 581. 94. This is based on the latest GeForce Game Ready driver, version 581. 80, which launched around two weeks ago with day-one optimizations for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Europa Universalis V, and Anno 117: Pax Romana. Following that Game Ready driver, users reported lower performance in some PC games after updating to Windows 11 October 2025 KB5066835 [5561605]. This GeForce hotfix driver resolves the issue, so if you’ve experienced that, you should download it right away. Otherwise, the fix will be rolled into the next Game Ready driver, anyway.
