So Nvidia release driver updates fairly frequently, less so for Studio Driver versions as these are in test longer (well, that is the theory)
Very often I see comments in Premiere discussion posts that say "don't use 560.xx version etc as this is a bad driver...". There have been several drivers released over the last two years where there has been a rogue version and told to avoid them. Unless you spot the post talking about this you don't know.
Using the latest driver is not always a good idea.
I've witnessed performance differences betweeen drivers and recently had a line of artefacts across my Program Monitor screen after an Nvidia driver update.
If you look at Release Notes from Nvidia (for the Studio Driver) you see info that lists fixes for numerous Games. Eg- Lord Zarag's left eyebrow has pixelation at 120Hz....or something like that.
I'd rather see things like 'Performance improvement for H265 decoding/encoding etc etc', but very little is documented on Studio driver tests.
Hope you get the picture.
So has anyone done the hard task of compiling a list of drivers to avoid (and more importantly) keeps a watch on the latest drivers released.
I just did a search here in Hardware/GPU which did not reveal much.
