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.

I downloaded and installed the Studio Driver 511.09 - WHQL and so far no issues. I will report back as it goes.

Edit: studio driver still good, no issues yet.

Meanwhile 511.23 Game Ready has been released.

Core drivers are identical to the CUDA SDK version.
Difference is the installer and the WHQL certificate. - nope, still reads beta
