Nvidia GPU Performance Boosted up to 25% by RPCS3 Workaround

The RPCS3 team has developed a workaround to improve performance on Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs). This fix addresses a driver bug that was not addressed by Nvidia in recent GeForce driver updates.

A contributor named Yahfz discovered the workaround, which results in significant gains in many games. The RPCS3 team reported a 20-25% framerate boost in Red Dead Redemption, but notes that actual gains will depend on hardware and game scenarios.

The team expressed frustration with Nvidia's handling of driver bug reports, stating they have no concrete way to submit issues for fixing. They hope to establish direct communication with Nvidia to receive driver bug reports.

The workaround should affect most games, but Nvidia users can expect varying performance gains.
