A crash when accepting quests in "Monster Hunter Wilds" with DLSS Frame Generation enabled, has been fixed. A crash with the error "GPU crashed or D3D Device Removed" in the game "InZOI" has been fixed.
A stutter noticed in "Overwatch 2" when using V-Sync has been fixed. Increased aliasing noticed with "Overwatch 2" has been fixed. Increased aliasing in "Hellbrade 2 Senua's Saga" with TSR enabled; as well as game crashes noticed in the game with Smooth Motion enabled, have been fixed. Smooth motion-triggered errors with TLOU Part 1 have been fixed. Dithering/banding seen on some RTX 50-series GPUs has been fixed. Flickering noticed in multiple areas of "Control" have been fixed.

I'm hoping with this update that I'll see a performance improvement, as some games I benchmarked, like OW2, have lost avg fps compared to my previous 4090, by like 100+ fps!
Some PR/Community teams resorted to general disclaimers.
Just mind-numbingly baffling how a corporation raking in money like that, is dropping the ball so hart to squeeze every possible cent for the bottom line…
I have an RTX 5090 Aorus master. With this driver, the game has several crashes and become unplayable.
With old driver, I had no crash
***Edit - Marvel Rivals just crashed. Not as often, but it happens***
Since it takes a few minutes to trigger and it only happens once, I would say this is not actually a real displayport error. Must be the driver (or a service/whatever related to the driver) that does "something" after a few minutes and then never again.
