When someone storms in with the most vague explanation, going as far as to say it looks 'blurry' can pretty much
answer himself in my opinion. I've four 4k monitors, 2 since 2016 and 2 more(one of em an oled tv) since 2019.
I'm not sure how these people produce these 'blurry' results when comapring 10bpc to 12bpc. The literal logic behind it
is actually going backwards. 10bpc has the slight chance of being full 4;4;4 rgb, whilst 12bpc is a compressed pos 4:2:0.
If anything, 12 should look 'blurry'(not) if compared to 10.
My guess is these people don't know what they're looking at and just want to complain here, blaming everything on the drivers.
You could ask them if it worked fine in previous drivers before berating them not make it your job to defend Nvidia, if it didn't and he has always had the problem let him know how things 'work'.

I just installed it and my GPU performance dropped almost 4000 points in 3DMark Time Spy.
MSI RTX 3090 Suprim X and AMD Ryzen 5900X here.
Checking MSI Afterburner, the Curve Editor dropped all Voltage/Frequencies by 50 MHz at default values. This Patch completely destroyed my undervolting settings. Also fixing it doesn't seem to bring back the performance. I guess I'll go back to an older version.
Can anyone confirm same or similar problems with this driver?
Edit:
It seems that this only affects 3DMark Time Spy. My games perform quite well without issues so far.

Dude, just checked my 2080ti & my custom curve undervolt & clock settings remain untouched in AB. 3DMark seems to be running as it should too. Used the upgrade path without a settings clear. All seems well. Games performing as they did with previous 516.40....

Weirdly enough is a step back in versioning from previous R515 releases (516.40 was r516_10-14)
