Seems fine so far, only thing I've noticed is the bug when you enable smooth motion that lowers memory clock by 200Mhz+ seems to be back.

Here's a question for you @Neil79
Is there a way of finding out which DLSS version the latest drivers ship with?

In the past if I wanted to update the DLSS to the latest version in a game, I just use DLSS Swapper. That usually tells you what version is the latest
New games tend to have updated DLSS versions than Nvidia's drivers, unless it's multiplayer like BF2042

If this is true and you use the global setting in the app to override to the latest version of dlss, which does it use if the game ships with a newer version than available in the app?
It will use whatever version of DLSS you swap too
I've changed dlss versions countless times in games in the past. Not so much now as DLSS has improved a lot!
Ahh the days of ghosting with certain DLSS versions
Is this your favourite forum thread!
Think I need to upgrade as the version I installed to enable me to play the Battlefield 6 Beta is a bit flaky, especially with NVIDIA surround mode...

That's ok, Mrk's waiting for the studio driver
Actually, I had a problem with the prior latest driver with the Indiana game, DLSS was borked, solved by installing the studio driver, so I think I'll be waiting for the ssstudio driver as well!
