For Pascal the best DX11 performance is considered to be 442.59 from Mar 10, 2020. Note that this driver is pre-Vulkan support.

System specs and the game you're playing?

Pretty much any machine running Win 7 can run 10. Can install 10 using your Win7 license too, so when you get your new pc try this first instead of buying another license.

Use tiny10 and run scripts by tweakhound to remove as many Windows Bloatware as possible. If you feel like an adventure, go and try linux with a lightweight desktop environment.

the latest driver for the GT 1030 GDDR5 is 466.27 from April 2021. But I think you need to be Windows 10 to be able to use this driver.

installed Windows 10 on my dinosaur lga 775 pc which only has 4 gb ddr3 ram. And honestly, it feels exactly the same as when the pc had Windows 7. Could still boot with Windows 7 if i wanted to, because it is located on another drive. Windows 10 is on an SSD, while Windows 7 is on HDD.

I have no idea what you're asking. Write proper full sentences.

You can always go back if you clone or image the Windows 7 system before you go changing things.

The same driver revisions work well in Windows 10, but that complicates your ability to keep using older drivers unless you do some workarounds, plus then you'd probably want drivers optimized for DX12 as well. I will say that any of the pre-Vulkan drivers have pretty good DX11 performance and the last ones 456.71 + 456.98 addressed some major security vulnerabilities, but you did specifically ask for the best fps.

If you installed the latest driver for 64-bit Windows 7 then you already had 466.27. But 391.35 from 5 years ago was the last for 32-bit Windows 7--I am assuming you were not using that one because it still has fine performance only with some rendering artifacts in some more recent games.

And yes, I agree Win 10 on SSD feels much the same as Win 7 on HDD
