Hi all,
I've had a problem with my FPS on my EVGA 660Ti where I found out I had drivers from 2017 that I never updated.
I was capped at 30FPS in any game I tried to play. I updated the drivers via Geforce Experience. It instantly solved the issue and I was getting 60FPS no problem.
However, whenever I reboot my PC i'm back at the 30FPS cap with no changes. Reinstalling the drivers will put it back to 60+FPS. So everytime I shut down my computer and go to turn it back up I have to reinstall "GeForce Game Ready Driver 441.20 " to get my performance back.
What can be happening after a system reboot that puts me to a 30FPS cap? I did uninstall all the drivers with DDU in safemode and that did not help.

OS Win 10 ?
 
Turn Windows 10 Fast Startup OFF, when upgrading drivers, firmware or hardware


With Windows 10 there is a new “hybrid” startup mode that should cut down on boot up times.

It does this by putting the PC into hibernation instead of "fully shutting down."

Thank you for your response. No, I'm still running Windows 7. I never updated my computer I just haven't used it a long time because of school and was mainly on my Macbook.
 

Check in EVGA Precision if you have it installed and make sure there's no Framerate Target enabled in the Settings. 

Load drivers as Admin with elevated privileges [follow these steps]

Make Sure your offline & shutdown ALL background software - including Security


After you Update driver in Win 7 shut down the PC
 
Remove power from the wall (All items: printer, monitor, USB hub .....)
 
Hold start Button in for 20 sec - now all capacitors are discharged
 
Plug everything back in & Boot
 
Enter Windows, if everything looks OK, shut down again
 
Reboot, make sure Security software is working --> Now you can go online again

Thank you so much for this one. This was the problem. This is very interesting because I have found that even when I reinstall drivers and don't reboot my computer it would drop down to 30FPS so I knew it was some software or issue triggering it but I wasn't even aware of this function in EVGA Precision and never messed with it before so I excluded that as a possibility.
 
It's interesting though with Precision ON and then the drivers are reinstalled the drivers override Precision frame-rate target.

Cool ..Kinda figured Precision might be the issue, it's not the first time.

Now maybe you should uninstall Precision (XOC?) and delete the folder for it in the Program Files (x86)\EVGA folder..Then uninstall/install the NVIDIA driver and then Precision again..That should start things from new again.
