Nasty Life is Strange Lag
liamphmurphy Jul 26, 2016
Hey all,

I am trying to get Life is Strange working properly. I play at 4k, and have a GTX 1070/have the latest 367.35 drivers installed.

Yet the lag is awful, 15 fps or less at 4k. I can play it comfortably at low settings at 1080p.

Liam said his 980ti worked great at 4k on his article, so idk whats up with my system.

Anyone else with issues like this?

Both fullscreen/windowed have this issue.

Quoting: edddeduckferalThere is a Nvidia driver issue with the Pascal chipset (from the internet this effects a number of games in different ways). We are working on the issue both at Feral and with Nvidia to investigate a workaround or driver fix.

Send an email to [email protected] to stay in touch when the game or driver will get a fix.

This was fixed in a patch to work around the driver bug. Nvidia should have a driver side fix coming in a future driver update. IT might be even included in the 370.x drivers.
