Recently for whatever reason, Metal Gear Solid V for PC has been running very slowly. It's odd because I used to be able to run it at max settings and have a constant 60 fps. I'm not sure why this is happening, it might be because
1. I got a new monitor recently and that may be messing it up (unlikely)
2. I recently updated my graphics drivers with Geforce Experience (more likely)
However, despite the fact that MGSV has started running slowly, none of my other games have taken a hit, I can still run Witcher 3 at max settings at 60 fps and it's a very graphics hungry game.

Not sure why this is happening, any help would be appreciated.

Revert to your previous driver and see if the problem persists. Some drivers are weird in that they randomly ruin game compatibility. It's not like anti-virus software where you being outdated will possibly cause harm to your PC. If reverting fixes your problem you can just update after you finish MGSV.

There doesn't appear to be a way to revert to my previous driver with Geforce Experience. How would I do that?

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
