Update : I've just been told by Nvidia, this below :D

545.29 Fixes :
* Some monitors may display random black screen flicker when in Display Stream Compression mode when using R530 drivers [4034096]

That would actually be useful for me considering when in 240Hz mode my 4K panel when switching from game to desktop has a momentary black screen.

Also read something interesting on a Microsoft Blog about AV1 encoding requiring driver 545.31+... guessing that's going to be the next major branch coming out then.

AV1 Encoding​

AV1 is a new codec that is gaining adoption across the industry by providing higher compression performance while maintaining the same quality as other available codecs.
In recent years dedicated hardware for encoding video using AV1 has become available. By extending the existing D3D12 Video Encode API we previously announced, we are able to provide a unified interface to access to the AV1 video encode hardware.
Here are the specs.
The detailed API interfaces and structure definitions can be found here and can be used with this post’s preview Agility SDK.
AV1 Encoding driver support:

Some users are reporting a lot lower DPC latency, but use these drivers at your own risk!

I would also caution against using this driver. It caused my 3080 to get stuck on low core frequency (210MHz) so I thought I had card issue.

Possibly a silly question but I'll ask it anyway: Do modern gaming laptops (e.g. a Razer with a 3060 mobile) use the same GeForce drivers as everything else? I recall back in the day you often had to use manufacturer-specific drivers, are those days long gone?
