  • Users may see a black screen when launching a game on a monitor using DSC (Display Stream Compression)
  • [Notebook]: On some Turing based notebooks, users may see a black window when playing back a video in a web browser  
  • [For Honor]: Game will crash to desktop when launched on GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards
  • [Forza Motorsport 7]: Game may crash to desktop when starting a race

I installed this and it says the version is 456.38, not .98. And I installed the standard version and it gave me DCH.

Shows 456.98 and Standard for me. I hovered over the two links and chose the Standard, which omits DCH in the download name.

Bunch of people say the same thing happened to them at Geforce. Manuel says it was windows update but I don't buy it, I didn't even reboot and the installer says 456.98>456.98 even though system information didnt match.

Do a clean install.... NOT the Express install.
 
The Drivers will need to restart the system.

This seems to have resolved the crazy amount of screen flickering I was having on my multi-monitor setup with GSync enabled. So glad they took care of it, it was practically seizure inducing sometimes!
 
Thank you for the heads up.
 
EDIT: Flickering came back. Hoping for a new driver soon.

Driver installed fine for me.  Didn't even bother using DDU.  Just chose fresh install.  No prompt to restart either even though I did anyways.  No issues so far to report but my system is pretty vanilla.

This driver fixed games that started up with a black screen.
