Hi All,
In an effort to try to resolve some of the stuttering issues some of you are experiencing, we'd like to offer up this beta SD reader driver to better understand if the updates within can address any of the lag issues you may be experiencing.
!!Some important notes here:
1) Don't install this if you don't have a RealTek card reader (The Go ships with either RealTek or Genesys card readers)*
2) Don't install this if you don't need to (i.e. you are not currently experiencing any performance issues with your SD reader/card)
3) Not making any guarantees this will completely fix or even help with the problem, but some people have seen improvement with it so offering it in case/in the hopes that it helps somewhat
*To determine which card reader you have
- Open device manager (windows key + x) > device manager or simply search "device manager" in the windows search
- Under "memory technology devices" it should say Realtek PCIE CardReader:
