NVIDIA today released the latest version of its GeForce software. Version 456.71 WHQL comes game-ready for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War PC Beta, which includes not just optimization for the game, but also support for NVIDIA Reflex, a technology that works to reduce whole system latency. In addition, the drivers correct a handful of issues, including hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling resulting in lower performance for Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition, a bug with G-SYNC enabled games triggering a black-screen in fullscreen mode, on certain Adaptive Sync displays; and Fortnite crashing on certain notebooks with RTX reflections and shadows enabled. Grab the drivers from the link below.

Their software have been full of Bugs lately...Nvidia is becoming Complacent i guess it's the curse of being dominant for far too long. Let's hope AMD would give them hell in its upcoming release.

Nah, not lately. Their drivers have always had similar numbers of little bugs. It happens with any software.

In fact, they have had off and on big troubles over the last 7 years ago, which contributed to what has mostly been my policy of only updating drivers several times per year. Even then it’s usually only a month after the latest one has come out. Lately those big problems seem to have reduced, causing me to update more frequently now.

I used the previous driver with no problems, and my 1080 is running at 2140/5670. I will try this too

this driver actually fixed every issue i had with my 3080.

HWInfo often showed me a greyed out core clock and 0.000V (this is now fixed)
i had artifacts in idle, they are fixed aswell
i had a black screen after i switched to a full screen application (it switched to it, 3 seconds later i got a black screen for like 10 seconds until it starts working again.)
all problems just disappeared for me. great driver :)

AMD, who has historically had problems with poor and buggy drivers? I'm sure you've heard the saying about those living in glass houses.

going to amazon.de
pick a 3080 TUF OC (because it was cheaper than MSRP)
put it in the shopping cart and order it with prime.

et voilà
