NVIDIA Launches GeForce 511.17 WHQL Drivers
NVIDIA today released the latest version of GeForce driver software. Version 511.17 debuts the 510-series version numbering for the software. This driver introduces support for the GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB graphics card the company stealthily launched today. The drivers also fix a bug with "Detroit: Become Human," where random stuttering was observed in the game; flickering text in Windows with 12-bpc color enabled; and the mouse pointer getting frozen when toggling HDR from within Windows Control Panel, after enabling G-SYNC from NVIDIA Control Panel.

oh i guess the keywords are, only the 3080 12GB is supported, "This driver only supports RTX 3080 12GB"
though it contradicts itself a few pages later, it shouldn't take a genius to figure that out(?)
so no you won't see it under normal searching . . .
fun fact: no one on guru3d's forum can install them :p
Edit: Found some hints: www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NVIDIA-510-Linux-Beta
"no compatible Graphics Card found"
Windows 11 Pro fully updated, 3080 Ti.
ListDevices.txt:
TechPowerUp supports all recent NVIDIA GPUs via NVCleanstall (in this case Maxwell or newer).
Unpack driver with 7zip
Open NVCleanstall
select "use driver files from disk", navigate to the setup.exe of the unpacked driver
select components to install
select "add hardware support" under installation tweaks
select name, then ID (the hex number from the right)
select a GPU as template which is most similar to the target GPU
i see, that is way there is no special topic for that new driver in official nvidia forum ..........
i guess it's only for RTX 3080 12GB....

This ones screwing with me bad, any time my monitors wake up or change res (like loading a fullscreen game) they give me a seizure for 5-10 secondsThe driver still needs support for your GPU internally, you cant make a 3090's driver load on a riva TNT
Mostly useful for forgotten laptop variants of desktop GPU's
Edit: it is, just needed to select 3080, if you select 3090 will appear the last 497.29.

I did not need to but I will install it. There are also some windows cumulative packs as well, so why not.
