This problems were later confirmed by Nvidia, revealing that drivers 516.59 or 522.25 were much more optimal to use with Modern Warfare 2 until the current issues are resolved. According to Nvidia, this problem was also the reason for not promoting or recommending the Game Ready Driver.
While players mostly used a rollback to their previous stable drivers, Nvidia managed to solve the problems with their latest driver. They released a hotfix, number 526.61, announced on Twitter. The hotfix is not a usual install via GeForce Experience software, but a standalone install which is downloaded from their customer service site.
