Tried the latest drivers but had bad stuttering straight away rolled back to the older drivers that I only updated last night or the night before.

Seems random
This
I had the problem worse on my old 4090 than on the 5090 that replaced it. There's no real rhyme or reason to it.
I've heard talk of it being a display port issue..
Can't remember what I'm using now
- Did have one black screen upon returning to windows, but not with the latest driver so farYeah that sounds like what happened when I installed it too.

I've decided to start using my W11 build again, just updated it and about to install the 576.28 drivers.
Still got W10 and 566.36 to fall back on, which shows just how bad NVidia drivers have been since the 5000 series disaster launch..

So, screen went black during install but that's fairly normal as long as it comes back.
And it did come back and nothing odd happened, so these are clearly magnificent drivers

Still not fixed that!
Was about to ask how are the latest drivers, might take the risk, but have had that issue happen twice on previous drivers and I had to power off/on pc.

No issues with my 4090 and black screens when installing 576.28 with my 2x 4K screens connected over DP (60hz without any VRR on & 120Hz gsync compatible on), didn't have any black screens with the last two hotfix drivers, 576.02, 572.83 or 572.70 (all installed over the top of each other), but I think it was 572.60 that black screened on me last. A simple reset with the reset button though, after I left it for 2 mins just to make sure the driver was installed. Once it windows, it was installed just fine.
That black screen issue is annoying as it's so random, seems every time you install a driver there's a 50/50 chance of it happening, but it always installs fine 100% of the time, just never recovers the display, at least for me until I force a reset.

I'm finding the latest ones to be actually very good, that's on W11 though. No issues installing and they seem fast and stable. Still have a W10 build with the 566.36 drivers in case of any issues.

How do you install via nvidia app or direct download from website?
