Anything with āperformanceā in the title must be welcome! If your interested, I would jump in quick, today is the day you need to register! 
I guess GPU drivers have a part to play in this tooā¦
Download GeForce 471.22 hotfix drivers. The hotfix addresses a fixDoom Eternal that may crash as well as other fixes.
- Doom Eternal may crash to desktop during gameplay [3331270]
- League of Legends [Tencent] may fail to launch [200744747]
- Mouse cursor color may shift when connected to certain DSC monitors in HDR mode [200741796]
- [HDMI 2.1][8K] HDMI audio playback may become distorted after changing display modes [3268312]

your nvidia link is pointing to driver 417.22, not 471.22.

Hi William, I assume you are referring to the āweight watchersā driver? The new hot-fix is there, itās just a little further down the page. It is a little confusing, I must admit. The two driver versions both appear in the page title.
Anyhow, here is the header from the download pageā¦
ā Clean Hotfix 471.22 GTX - x64 Desktop/Notebook
To prevent any confusion, hotfix driver links are removed once a newer version of the WHQL driver is releasedā.
Thank you for your alert. BRGDS. Charles
Noā¦the āhttps://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverā¦ā link you wrote ABOVE āThe slimmed skinny versionā¦ā takes you to driver version 417.22, not 471.22.
if that is intentional, then i apologize for my incorrect correction.

Oh, I see what you mean. I am a bit slow today. I do apologise, itās an āadminā error on my part. 
I have deleted that link to the 417.22 WHQL driver which is not a āslimmedā driver. The link to the skinny driver is OK. Charles

On my Aorus 3080 Extreme I had to roll back the driver all back to 460.89.
Also the BIOS from the card from F6 to F3.
Seems in the recent drivers thereās a power limit coded at 380w, which is a shame. My card was running so good and stable at 420 watts at 2100 mhz.
Butā¦ FS crashes now anyway, whenever the card is overclocked, so the power limit enhancement is not important anymore

what a horror power consumptionā¦ I hope the graphics card manufactors will in future spend a bit more time into a good hardware design and avoid this waste of energy.

Well, if I got 33 fps instead of 28 I really wouldnāt care about those 40 watts.
In general you are right, of course.

Download NVIDIA GeForce 471.41 WHQL drivers. This release Adds Support For Red Dead Redemption 2 and Chernobylite which introduce NVIDIA DLSS technology.

I always ask me, why a normally independent hardware manufacturer must implement somewhat that a game x works fineā¦ sounds all like a big workaround interface

I guess this is more about the way the GeForce Experience can change in games settings. A profile is needed for each games. I donāt think they fix specific programs problems each time by patching drivers. Well I hope!.
ahā¦ noā¦ geforce exp. is another thingā¦ the driver can be installed without the additional nvidia software.
Itās same as they fix somewhat within the driver, if a game x crash.
[League of Legends]: The game may fail to launch. [200744747]
But of course it was clear for me that they do thatā¦ sometime itās just time to point to such worst designs. A device-driver should know nothing about a game x / application xā¦ and I can remember at the good old ages where this was the case
At leastā¦ seems no issues with these version with msfs ( 2080Ti ).

Iām actually curious about what are we āvotingā for here?

itās a good questionā¦ for me its a thread to discuss about current nvidia driver and possible advantages or disadvantagesā¦ but may be itās then bit wrong in yellow category 
In this case, the āwhyā is clearly explained in the release notes and the blog post.
This new Game Ready Driver provides support for the latest new titles and updates, including the latest game updates for Red Dead Redemption 2 and Chernobylite which introduce NVIDIA DLSS technology.
I donāt have a link handy but youāll find in the NVidia developer sections what are the requirements to supporting a DLSS enabled game.

and in case I develop my own game , I have to ask nvidia that they do a driver change to support it ? I meant it also more generallyā¦ we get allways driver updates where 70% of the changelog is like āsupport game xā.

Yes I believe youād have to for the time being. It seems changes mostly mentioning āsupport forā are sometimes about enabling DLSS āofficiallyā (i.e. unlocking the feature for specific titles), but sometimes this is also about making a game running faster or better, in just āadaptingā some internal driver optimizations to some specific API uses made by the game. To illustrate what I mean:
-
the graphics API has a ClearBackground(color) function which most games are using when they start rendering the current frame
-
game XYZ is known to fill the entire screen with a huge triangle right after
-
for game XYZ, donāt make ClearBackground(color) do anything because it will be overwritten right after with the huge triangle anyhow.
Contrived example maybe, but this is what I have in mind when I read these release notes

yepā¦ but then is these company no longer a independend hardware manufactor. Instead it get a lot of possible āinfluenceā ( word?) which āapplicationā will be performant / supported and get better chances on market. May be āgamersā should bit more aware of such things.
PS.: I like the discussion thread
