Pretty much the title. I see so many posts about the benchmark gains but has anyone actually got an improvement in any actual game? I tested Cyberpunk, Marvel Rivals, Black Ops 6, Forza Horizon 5 - fps was the exact same as before. I even tested it back to back in the same scenarios - no improvements.

Not only that but Forza Horizon 5 is no longer stable at 3270mhz, so I had to drop down to 3255mhz, resulting in actual lower performance in games compared to before, and it also now has 100% GPU utilization even with NVIDIA Reflex on, resulting in 16 fps stutters every minute or so, while Frame Gen is now completely unsmooth and broken in this game.

Reverted to the old driver for now and things are back to normal. Anyone else with similar experiences?
