NVIDIA today released the GeForce 398.46 Hotfix drivers. These kind of driver releases are expeditiously rolled out to address glaring bugs with drivers, usually affecting gameplay of major titles. The 398.46 Hotfix drivers primarily address the issue of random black textures in "Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus" from publisher Bethesda Softworks. This game uses the Vulkan API and takes advantage of mega-textures. As a reminder, the driver is only available for 64-bit versions of Windows 10. Grab the driver from the link below.

Generally not in a hotfix driver that was only released for a single platform.

That post up there is a whole lot of benchmarking over time. Wondering if "Sky Diver" is a victim of driver spectre patches.

Looks like Win 7/8 is on the chopping block for nVidia. They don't address the TDRs that recent drivers have introduced, and stopped providing hotfixes. It's almost intentional ...

I'm gonna go with a change in 3DMark's code, given the jump from 2.3 to 2.4.
