Reported NVIDIA driver workaround boosts RPCS3 performance by up to 37%

A reported workaround for an NVIDIA driver bug has improved performance in the RPCS3 emulator by up to 37% on NVIDIA hardware.

The RPCS3 development team reportedly identified a problem in the NVIDIA GPU driver that can throttle emulator performance when games run on NVIDIA GPUs. The issue is also said to increase VRAM consumption in most cases.

According to Wccftech, a contributor found a workaround for the problem. Reports indicate that the fix delivers performance gains of 10% to 37% in most games running on RPCS3. It also reportedly reduces VRAM consumption by up to 32%.

The available information describes the issue and the workaround as reported findings. It does not establish whether NVIDIA has released an official driver fix, and no specific driver version is identified in the source.
