Huh, when installing these drivers it's like the first time I got a Windows notification asking for PC reboot to finish the driver installation.
I don't think I ever had that notification before when installing Nvidia drivers.

A last!!! The Chrome tab flicker is actually gone!! Although installer didn't work on my side... Had to manually force install these drivers. But they work!
***Edit: scratch that.. after restarting, it's a flicker fest.

WOOO FINALLY a fix for the HW-accel TDRs. For the record, they are not restricted to chrome, they also happen in just about every hardware-accelerated desktop window and especially when you have multiple open
e.g. Firefox, Anydesk, MPC-HC
The problem always was i do not get eventlogs or dumps when they happen, so there is nothing to send to Nvidia.
I will know by monday if it actually fixes it 🙂
EDIT:
Reddit comments say the issue persists. Not encouraging

This driver gives me artifacts everywhere on 3080
Rolled back, works fine now

After switching to 3080 i noticed my chrome was flickering if i minize or resize it, or just move it from 1 screen to another.
The weird thing is i found a fix but its retarded, i use "Rainmeter" to show my ram/cpu usage as a widget on the desktop,
and after i installed those back after the gpu switch and windows reinstall, the flickering was gone.. Not sure how they're related.

Providing a bit more power to them via GeForce Experience seems like it helps particularly the 3090 but I don't know how well a manual overclock would work compared to just letting the boost algorithm scale it within it's various parameters although the memory states could be a bit more flexible if it's about these.
Not much of a overclock though it's just adding a bit extra for the GPU to utilize before it throttles compared to modifying voltages or the clock speed or curvature for it I think is how it works now.
As for memory flexibility well sorta, might be a bit of a range on them like on AMD as well with error correction kicking in so it runs all the way up to near maximum without artifacts but the ECC makes for limited or reduced performance gains and scaling it back instead is more gainful.
Not sure how sensitive Ampere and GDDR6X is though AMD RDNA1 was fairly sensitive and RDNA2 while a bit better is both locked at a fairly low maximum and tends to hit ECC early on so testing is needed to confirm if it really works or not. 🙂
EDIT: Actually was there even any data on that I think Micron had something like ECC but not quite the same but the available info was more limited from what I remember of trying to look it up at least.
EDIT: Forward Error Correction.

I'll better wait for the next WHQL one, the past couple drivers since december did all not fix my issues with stuttering/microfreezing several programs while opening or closing them. Also opening NVCP or Windows Display settings caused a small lag/freeze also. The past 3 drivers messed up my monitor too, sometimes upon boot it switches randomly from RGB to YCBRxxx and requires to change it in NVCP back, but it doesn't change until another reboot and changing it again from YCBRxxx to RGB to finally stick. This drives me mad for weeks now. Only happens when games force fullscreen or some random spastics when you run the game in borderless but it still goes from windowed to fullscreen to your settings (Star Wars Battlefront 2 2017) while booting up....had the same issue with BF V, but only on one monitor with my 3 monitor config. Now it happens on all 3 monitors whenever i boot up a game all 3 monitors flicker/turn black and mess with my desktop icons until the game really started and wents to borderless. I think it's the games fault tho.

Thanks guys and girls at Nvidia. Fixed issue with G sync on my LG 48cx. seems good for games at the moment too. Oh yeah..
