So has this freestyle filter crash been a thing before this driver? Or will all my games that use them suddenly start crashing with this driver? I was hoping to install new drivers because freestyle filters stopped working altogether for Cyberpunk 2077 on 528.49 despite working previously.

I get flickering on windows restart and some boot screens in dead by daylight after updating NCP to the latest version (964). The problem is in it, because. I reinstalled windows and it only shows up after the store updates it.

It doesn't matter if it's low range, mid-range, well-tuned, or not. If it's within 1% to 3% it's within margin of error. Even higher percentages can be a result of big temperature swings.
You can do the test 9 times (3x different time of day) and save links.
Every benchmark can be linked like this:
Use the FIRE STRIKE benchmark.

And you can compare yourself for your own rig.
So what I usually do is running one bench, waiting for temp to settle around 40 degrees gpu temp and then run another one. Do the same thing for the new driver. This is still not accurate at all, but at least almost equal temps. Other things can not be influenced easily anyways
