It's crap don't bother. They didn't fix any of the glaring issues from the previous driver. It's just an update for the new games it was covering.
HDR, G-sync, SLI are all still messed up and no notable performance increases during benchmarks.

What's wrong with G-Sync?

Havent tried this driver yet. But simple rule of thumb (for those on single cards) is to ignore all driver comments by SLI owners.

Aye mate go ahead and ignore 9 pages of bug reports. Most of which aren't even SLI users.

Curious if I can just uninstall or install over only the "driver" part without touching the damn HDMI audio drivers? Everytime I do a fresh GPU driver install with HDMI audio drivers, it kills my SB3 X-Fi and I have to reinstall that as well.
Sorry if OT but I just got this 1060 GPU a week or so ago to tide me over as my 6950s were giving up the ghost (RIP).

Custom install > uncheck Audio box?

That's how i install nvidia drivers and avoid all the trashware they added
1. Extract the driver to a folder
2. Keep only what is essential and remove the trash
3. Then install the new drivers
p.s use DDU if you wanna clean the previous ones
