It's been a trend with the recent nvidia driveres to have some issues that were addressed afterwards with fixes

The issues list on this driver is small enough that for once, that trend may be wrong.

Hopefully that will be the case, if nothing comes up by tomorrow evening, I'll go for it

This is a very huge issue for me since I own both a G-Sync monitor and an GTX 1080 card.

I mean really, how is this driver even approved for WHQL with so many issues on Win10 ???

Screen flickering. Rolling back to previous beta driver.

You haven't been reading the mile long win10 bug lists that preceeded this, have you?

I missed the gsync bug though. Ouch to the users of that tech...
