really hope this update somehow helps frame loss in xsplit broadcaster for the 3070ti. Or maybe it's because I enabled reflex? Regardless never had frame issues with 3060 so which makes me think it was the drivers.

They're getting closer to a golden driver, but this isn't it.  It works better than 466.11 (the one I stuck with previously), but they still haven't fixed the dpc latency problem.
 

It's really nice to see they fixed warcraft and VR (allegedly).  I hope they can hotfix the dpc latency problem.  The driver would be near perfect then.
 

What do you mean that it's getting closer to a golden driver? Are the frametimes almost perfect with this driver or fps is better? I try to avoid driver updates due to an issue I had once with a bad driver. 

did it fix the studders? the skips like crazy

No driver is perfect, but Nvidia seems to release roughly one driver per year that gets almost everything reasonably right, and a lot of people can then safely stick to that driver for a long while before updating unless there's something specific they need (for a newer game for instance).  There's always a period of time after a new generation of gpu's are released where the drivers need to be tweaked for awhile before they start to get it right - this gen it's taken them longer than most I'd say (9 months of warcraft and VR issues has been a little absurd).  457.51 was a really good driver for instance, but it still didn't have some significant things quite right.  The 466 drivers introduced some bad dpc latency issues that haven't been addressed yet.  Nvidia would probably do well to split their drivers into different branches - maybe one driver for everything pre-ray tracing and one for all the ray tracing cards, for instance.  It seems like they often end up breaking two things when they fix one because they're trying to cram too much crap into a single 600MB driver.  

Well i downloaded  windows up date, did'nt fix the sound problem for me rolling back to the last driver.
sound cutting  in and out.

Hopefully the vr issue is finnaly solved it seemed to have started back in May of last year its been rough if you had the issues for vr on 30th gen as you could not really go back far enough to remove them. Some drivers were alot better then others along the way though

I haven't tested VR, but with the latest version of windows and this driver running, I can say that wow still flickers.  The issue *might* have improved a little... it's hard to say.

ah man how long has the wow flicker been going on? I have not really followed that issue since I don't play.The vr one popped up around may/2020.

thanks, will give it a try

 
Thanks.

So this driver has been an enigma to me.  At first it looked like the flickering in wow had gotten at least a little better, then it got worse to the point where it was just about as bad as it was originally, and now I'm having my whole screen go black for something like .5-2 seconds at random times in that game.  
 
They actually made the wow problem worse, at least for my setup.

its been iffy for me back to 462.65 for me as its the best driver so far for the 3070ti. Maybe the next one will be better. I'd love to have the vr fix but this new driver was pretty bleh for me. 461.92 was my go to before but the 3070ti can't use it sadly

well, since it's another week before the DOOM patch comes out.. I'll wait to see if they have to hotfix something again before I use these new drivers.

This driver just gave me a "kernal mode heap corruption" blue screen of death...
 
Reverted to 466.77.
