ive uninstalled the drivers, rebooted in safe mode, activated DDU to clean out the leftovers from the uninstalled drivers, restarted again in normal mode, and installed the new drivers. (both drivers were of the same version, but the first one i installed from CD which then updated through geforce experience but the second one is from the internet) i will test out my games to see if anything changes. Thank you for the help, will ping again if the problem is still there
