Hey guys,
I've been using the 378.78 driver for quite a long time now. Love the driver, most stable driver so far.
However, it is nearly a year and a half old now, and its not optimized well for some of the newer games.
I think it might be time for me to explore an upgraded driver.
With the recent 0.10 update in Escape From Tarkov I've been getting terrible consistent frametime spikes with 378.78. I tried 399.07 and there was a massive improvement.
However, it doesn't seem to perform the best with some of the other games I've been playing.
Warthunder it introduced microstuttering at times and random frame hitches/ skips.
Introduced some stuttering and lower FPS in Arma 3 and I'd sometimes get a freeze in world of tanks.

Any other well known stable driver versions? Or does anyone know how to fix the issues I'm experiencing with the newer driver?
