Detroit: Become Human actually crashes due to the previous WHQL drivers, hopefully it's one of the unlisted fixes...

I love those "open issues". If you play Red Dead Redemption 2 in SLI and press ALT+Tab it may crash. Also, if you have a ASUS M45 notebook with Windows 8.1 update 2014-2 and play doom 3 in 680x480 windowed mode after sunset on a tuesday then press ctrl+alt+delete the task manager may appear full screen.

Open issues be like : Ok fuckbois you didn't buy enough 2080TI for our greedy asses to be satisfied so our drivers team doesn't want to work at all. Feel free to spam our geforce forum to report bugs for us but we don't care much, we will wait for developers to ask for fixes and we will see.
Blablabla it's difficult to develop drivers for our cards to work with different components, we are paid to do the magic but...thank you. Also, blame Microsoft and the developers if it doesn't work as intended.
