@Anth0789 did you notice if your fans are running faster now?
I have an MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Super Gaming X with idle stop fans. Since this update, no matter the GPU temp, fans would run at 68% - 2300+ RPM being louder than in gaming even, thus lower GPU idle temp.
I could not get the fans go to idle stop from MSI Afterburner either. Had to rollback to drivers 457.30 and works just fine again.
Was wondering if someone else was having the same issue as this is the first time it happens to me.
Regards,

Nope my fan speeds are the same as it was on the previous drivers. I do see that the clocks are running lower on idle which is why it runs less hotter for me.

is that bug the one that prevents the adapter from doing 4k60?

I mistyped the HDMI version. My adapter is DP 1.4->hdmi 2.1, and can do 4k@120... at least on the right driver version.

I installed this with my 3080 FTW3 Ultra.
Previous driver was set to prefer max performance, because preventing idle downclock has fixed (well, worked around) black screening in browsers.
But the new driver will not even downclock in default optimal mode. Whatever i set there, idle clocks still not going down.
Is this how they fixed the black screen driver issue? Can anyone confirm this?

Still got crashing error on Cold War. Maybe it's just the buggy game or my 2080 super.
