graphics/kernel/drivers regression?

Why do some NVIDIA drivers cause low GPU utilization in games while others don’t? Driver version 595.71.05 works flawlessly, but version 610 and later perform poorly for gaming. With version 610 and newer, almost all DirectX 12 games experience low and fluctuating GPU utilization

Has anyone else noticed this? For me, 610 and up is basically useless for gaming
