Gaming Technology

Fixed Issues in this Release
: With SLI enabled, artifacts may appear in Adobe applications.
: Fixed random crashes on GeForce RTX 20 series GPUs.
: The game crashes when accessing the inventory menu.
: Blue-screen crash occurs randomly with Bad Pool error during gameplay.
: Artifacts appear when Texture Filtering is set to High Quality in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
: Applications crash when using the Fabfilter plugin.
: Fixed corrupted graphics in games on ASUS ROG Strix GL702VS notebooks.
: With Stereo enabled, OUT of Memory message appears when launching the application.
Windows 10 Issues
: G-SYNC does not engage when using Surround resolution.
: When the 3D Settings page->Vertical Sync setting is set to Adaptive Sync (half refresh rate), V-Sync works only at the native refresh rate after rebooting the system.
: Invoking Ansel in the game causes the game to slow down or crash.
Random desktop flicker occurs on some multi-display PCs
The desktop on the primary monitor flickers when playing videos on the secondary monitor.
And the forums:
https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1105934/geforce-drivers/official-425-31-game-ready-whql-display-driver-feedback-thread-released-4-11-19-/
Issues and updates:
2507125-Invoking Ansel in Shadow of the Tomb Raider can cause game to crash
2535506-Flickering when Acer Predator XB271HU monitor is connected along with a second monitor and G-SYNC is enabled
2453059-Flickering observed while GFE overlay is engaged + G-Sync set to fullscreen/windows mode
2552316-Desktop flicker when playing videos on secondary monitor
EDIT: Ah I see the fixes and open issues are listed in the above post already, nice!
That only leaves those three listings on the GeForce forum since the Shadow of the Tomb Raider issue with Ansel is already listed as a open issue in the PDF document.
(Actually only two since corresponds to the PDF about multi-display PC's but is called GFE and G-Sync in the forum URL.)
(And this one after comparing the numbers for the desktop flicker issue.)

Finally...I can switch back to High Quality.
I really wish they'd bring back Clamp though.

Windows 10 Issues
Random desktop flicker occurs on some multi-display PCs
The desktop on the primary monitor flickers when playing videos on the secondary monitor.
I thought a driver previously was supposed to have fixed this?

You didn't disconnect your PC from the Internet while using DDU and installing the standard driver.

I was anxious to try ray tracing in Shadow of the Tomb Raider but I only have the demo so wasn't able to enable it. My benchmark score was still solid though, 1080p max settings averaging between 60-70fps.
Superposition 1080p high settings = 9106
Time Spy 1080p graphics score = 6553
Shadow of War demo 1080p max settings = 76
Heaven 1080p, Ultra quality, extreme tessellation, 8xaa = FPS 80.5, overall score 2027
Metro 2033 Redux 1080p max settings = 54.72
My scores could be better but I'm still running and AMD 8350 CPU and 16gb G.Skill DDR3 1600. Either way they're still able to compete with the big boys. Anyway hope these benchmark results helped anybody looking to upgrade or whatever.
In conclusion these are a good set of drivers in my opinion. I'm very fascinated to see how long the Turing architecture lasts and just how much Nvidia can pull out of it. I'm guessing a good 2-.3 years.

I think we'll be getting 7nm Nvidia announced by end of year for next year. New architecture and hopefully a more massive increase in performance. 2080 Ti levels of performance for 3080. Really need more horsepower for 4K gaming.
