Extremetech has noted that the latest Nvidia Geforce drivers cause high CPU load, but that a fix is to be released soon.
The drivers, version 531.18, cause additional CPU load of about 10% to 15% apparently: which is specifically (multiple instances of) the ‘NVIDIA Container’ process.
Specifically, the open issue here on the feedback post noted below:
- Higher CPU usage from NVIDIA Container might be observed after exiting a game [4007208]
So, avoid that driver version (released 28th of February) for now, until a fix is released by Nvidia. Check the feedback post here on the Nvidia-site, and keep an eye out for new versions here.
Other feedback in the thread noted quite a few BSODs, as well as some in-game issues: so probably for those reasons as well to avoid the drivers for now.
