    Thanks for posting this.  According to the feedback thread, however, they saying the multi-monitor problem still exists, contrary to your post.

    Edit:  According to Manuel at Nvidia (in one of the comments on the feedback thread), they have *finally* fixed the multi-monitor problem... and will release a driver in January with the fix.  Ugh.  Been waiting awhile for them to fix that before updating.

    Thank you for the heads up.  As usual, I well let this new driver age a week or so and see what problems are discovered.

    Running this driver now from a fresh DDU and new driver install ( been using 472.12), so far the screen flickering is not as bad. Only seen it flicker once/twice since installing it (it was worse on the previous 3-4 driver updates). Will wait and see before downgrading back to 472.12, hopefully I won't have to. Least MSFS2020 is fixed as that was the main reason I went back to 472.12. I can handle the odd flicker but not all the time.

    Flicker is still there for me, seems to happen more frequent after I have played a few games and gone back to desktop. Thinking of downgrading back to 472.12 but really might just wait until after Christmas.  Otherwise no real other issues to report.

    Thanks for posting about the updated driver. It's going to be nice to do some holiday gaming since Christmas should be when things slow down at work for me.

    Flickering for me has gotten quite bad today. Rolled back to 472.12.  I will wait for the Jan release, hopefully it will fix it.

    Sticking with 471.68, I've had the best luck with it in games AND bench racing.
