Can I use older Nvidia Drivers / Bypass BF V's minimum driver requirement?

[TearlessWall597]

I have a 960M, a typically older GPU that meets minimum spec. On low, I can run BF V at 50-60 FPS, but that's only with the old drivers. The new drivers do me really badly, and put me on 15 FPS on other games too, such as Rainbow Six.

Is there a way to use old Nvidia drivers and still play BF V?

I have not tried this personally but it's a known workaround for Frostbite Nvidia driver checks.

• Go to: C:\windows\system32\
• Find nvapi64.dll and rename it to something like backupnvapi64.dll.

That should disable the check as far as I'm aware but it's a bit of a workaround.

I would rather focus on why the new drivers are not working for you.

I would try a complete uninstall of Nvidia drivers and software, then use DDU in safe mode to clean the rest, lastly download and install the latest drivers and try again.
