I updated to 472.12 for my 1060 6GB and it kept crashing over and over in certain games. Went back to 456.71 and it's running perfectly fine. They haven't really added anything since 45x.xx for Pascal anyway, at least nothing that I've needed.
WAIT... I've always been getting the latest driver from "beta and older drivers" category.
But apparently there are 800mb game ready drivers with much higher version number straight form download ssection
472.12 on beta tab, september 20.
496.49 on normal tab, 3 days ago.
Why so big of a jump ? Was the 96 branch always there?

The hotfix addresses the following issues:
• [Transport Fever/Transport Fever 2] Game will crash to desktop on startup [3411731/3409614]
• [Detroit Become Human] Users may experience micro-stutters during gameplay [3389250]
• [Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon] Visual artifacts may be observed during gameplay [3410593]
• [WRC 9 FIA World Rally Championship/RiMS Racing/TT Isle of Man - Ride on the Edge 2] Game will crash to desktop soon after being launched [3409320/3416650/3408673]
I've noticed that the image quality has turned to shit lately, sometimes even in games, but most of the time mostly visible on static 2D images. In Rimworld (2D game) i can sometimes see it depending on how zoomed in or not i am, its like suddenly the image looks worse. On instagram it's the same - looks good when scrolling the small version of the images, but clicking the image to get the full version it looks like it's ~256 colors or so.
Youtube is also terrible (yes, more noticable in dark images but overall it looks crappier than before). This is 1080p (terrible even if you're not looking at them in full screen):
Just updated to latest nvidia drivers, no difference (haven't checked rimworld though).
Anyone else noticed similar?
Did a clean install using DDU because i also have a yellow exclamation mark for the graphics card in device manager (no error reported), didn't do anything, it remains.

If HDR is required to be toggled from the Microsoft Control Panel, be sure to switch to a different Image Scaling resolution.
Not only that, they become more buggy and crash-prone, at least for previous generations (Pascal in my case).
I unpacked the display driver folder for 456.71 (sweet spot driver for Pascal) and 496.98 and the 456 driver had ~45 .nfo files while the 496 drivers had ~75 .nfo files (each .nfo file is installing a specific feature). I wonder if NVCleanstall can keep up. NV's drivers are getting more bloated with each release.
I'll stick with 456.71 until games stop working or I get a newer card.

Yeah but it works perfectly fine. I downloaded it, chose only driver and HDMI Audio in NVCleanstall and installed it. It's the most stable modern driver since 456.71 for me. Performance is exactly the same as their non-studio drivers. In fact they may be somewhat more stable since studio drivers are tested for stability instead of less tested performance/game-specific tweaks-drivers.
Not disagreeing with you, I use the Studio drivers but just pointing out for other folk that want the Game Ready drivers. Those do contain hot fix patches for new game titles which the Studio equivalent may not be optimised for.
