Older driver still works best for me, without issues...

This is nearly the same driver as the excellent hotfix issued last week. It fixed Chrome browser micro stutter and UFO Test now shows 'ready' immediately on my 165Hz Gsync. Gaming is smooth as silk too. Great driver update from Nvidia once again.

Yup, hotfix driver is working amazing on my 4080 as well. I have never had any major issues with the Nvidia drivers, I guess the worst in a few years has been the chrome checkerboard issue that this driver fixed and even then that didn't really bother me
