Nvidia's promising up to 24% performance gains with their latest GPU drivers
Nvidia has just released their new Geforce 522.25 WHQL drivers for Windows 10 and Windows 11, promising gamers up to 24% performance gains in DirectX 12 gamers thanks to new driver-level performance optimisations.
With their Geforce 522.25 drivers, Nvidia has delivered new shader compilation optimisations, worked to reduce CPU overhead, and have added new Resizable BAR profiles to games like Forza Horizon 5 and F1 22.
These new performance optimisations deliver different performance gains on a game-by-game basis, with some games seeing single-digit performance increases while others see gains of up to 24%.
These improvements include shader compilation optimization, reduced CPU overhead, and Resizable BAR profiles for Forza Horizon 5 and F1? 22. Many of these optimizations are most beneficial in CPU-bound scenarios, enabling your graphics card to be utilized to a greater degree. In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, and Forza Horizon 5, performance improved by up to 24%:
Our DirectX 12 optimizations apply to GeForce RTX graphics cards and laptops, though improvements will vary based on your specific system setup, and the game settings used. In our testing, performance increases were found in a wide variety of DirectX 12 games, across all resolutions:

Originally Nvidia was only enabling this for their Turing and Ampere enterprise level cards but a few people are theorising that this driver finally enables it on non enterprise hardware hence the 5-25% perf uplift.
My guess is, Tin foil hat on, That Nvidia didn't want to enable it earlier just incase they needed it for a certain situation, Whether that was for shifting excess stock or to 1 up AMD in the driver department.
