Far too many major open issues there. So another set of drivers to skip, the 54 series of drivers are the worst I've used in many years, thankfully games like Alan Wake 2 still work perfectly on 537.58 with all features turned on including path tracing with no hit to performance or stability in my quick testing.

Pretty sure they all have roughly that many open issues.
If none of them effect you then there is no reason to be concerned

The bright image when scrolling on a YT video then dark when you stop does seem to have been fixed since Chrome did their last update. But my biggest issues with all 54 based drivers at the moment on my 4090 is scrolling web pages in Chrome or Edge, it's horrifically stuttery, it's as if VSYNC is off in the browser and it looks and feels like it's running at between 40fps and 120fps when you use the middle mouse button and try auto scroll down, it's supposed to scroll very smoothly and always has done. DDU does not fix this, but the moment I installed any driver version that's 537 and older the browser performance is silky smooth.

Never experienced a bug like it.

Odd, it's fine for me.
I always find it weird how some bugs affect some people and not others... Like we both have a 4090 so in theory the drivers should behave the same, but they don't :confused:

Its interesting how that works, but with so many software and driver combos even the slightest change could cause major issues. Was going to skip this but wanted to do video showing the browser stuttering side by side, but it whatever changes they did in 546.01 has actually fixed the ridiculous browser stuttering, bloody typical :cry:

545.84 and 545.92 had the issue, but whatever they changed in 546.01 has fixed it, my browser version never changed between 545.92 and 546.01.
