Working brilliantly for both my RTX and GTX!! Just needed to set the right template ie for my GTX it was "Quadro M4000 as a hardware template and signature has been ticked".

Not many will do this though as I do like modified drivers :D

My Google skills must be failing me, got a link to anywhere this is being discussed?

Would like to see some benchmarks to see if it's worth the hassle of learning how to I stall them.

Is there any equivalent template for RTX 3050 mobile?

Brilliant drivers as far as I'm concerned ( although it was a bit of a faff installing them )

Really don't like 516.40, causing game stuttering and game stability issues (game locks up) in Destiny 2 when the game is in Windowed fullscreen and I alt tab out and back in (Windows 11 control panel HDR enabled), all 512 drivers and older I've never had those issues. I've installed 512.95 over the top and even without a reboot my game now doesn't stutter when I alt tab out and back in and game seems to be stable once again.

Destiny 2 when you open another window the game drops to 30fps and stays running on screen which is normal and when you click on the Destiny 2 window it will run at full speed again, my frame rate while jumping back in goes back to it's usual 100+fps but has terrible stuttering on 516.40 (extremely visible on camera panning) and if there is a lot explosions the framerate tanks to 20/30fps which shouldn't happen, on 516.40 I have to alt-enter to go fullscreen and back to Windowed fullscreen to fix the stuttering and framerate issue every time, never had to do this on the 512 drivers. I'm certainly staying away from the 516 ones for now.

I don't recall having this issue when using my last card (980Ti) but since switching to a 3070 FE,
once or twice a day I will experience what I can only describe as an audio 'crunch' or stuttery glitch when gaming or viewing content e.g. YouTube.

I've reinstalled the drivers three times with the last attempt being a clean installation.
Has anyone else had something similar occur?

Perhaps it be conflicting with the motherboard audio (Realtek vs Nvidia HD Audio Driver)?

Running the latest drivers.

Nope, can't say I have.
 
I've now uninstalled the Nvidia HD Audio Driver, so we'll see if that is the answer.

I read somewhere that going into the bios and unchecking fast boot might help...

Having read a little about Ampere's power spikes, I wondered if that could be related?

I cant see the backstory, what is the actual issue just odd stutter with the 3070 since changing GPU? Just trying to dig for detail as its easier to diagnose.

It's corrupted-sounding audio either from a game or media and lasts for around 1 second or less.
Rather than a video stutter, think of it as an audio hitch or stutter.
