We have a discussion thread open on this driver here in our Nvidia driver discussion forums. It seems NVIDIA dropped support for Series 600 graphics card, also the drivers offered are DCH only.

I assume no NIS changes in this release outside of what's mentioned in the "Fixed" section?

Open Issues:

: After attempting to change resolutions, the resolution does not change and the game falls out of IFlip mode. To apply the new resolution, press Alt+Tab.
: Performance drop when there is mouse movement.
: TDR/corruption occurs in the game with Windows HDR enabled. If this issue occurs, toggle the Windows HDR setting.
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed may crash on courses where players drive through water.
In multi-monitor configurations, the screen may display random black screen flicker.
: Mouse pointer gets stuck after turning on HDR from the Windows Control Panel or after toggling G-Sync from the NVIDIA control panel. To work around, click the mouse (right or left button). The mouse cursor will be sluggish for a few seconds before returning to normal operation.
: After setting the display multiplexer type to “dGPU”, the setting is not preserved across a reboot or resume from S4.
: The screen moves to the upper left corner on cold boot when Image Scaling is applied to the desktop. Do not apply NVIDIA Image Scaling to the desktop. It is intended only for video upscaling or for games which do not run with a scaling resolution unless the same Image Scaling resolution is applied on the desktop.
: With Image Scaling enabled, video playback is corrupted or results in a system hang after performing an HDR transition.

A little off topic but can you now install the dch driver over the top of 472.12 standard without uninstalling the standard driver first? In the past it wasn't recommended.
