NVIDIA today released the latest version of its GeForce Game Ready software. Version 551.52 WHQL comes with optimization for "Skull and Bones." Among the gaming related bugs fixed with this release are an intermittent micro-stutter noticed with V-Sync enabled; a stuttering issue with "Red Dead Redemption 2" on some Advanced Optimus notebooks; and stability issues seen with "Immortals of Aveum" over extended gameplay sessions. Non-gaming issues fixed with this release include a stutter observed with some web-browsers in certain system configurations.

I had this freezing when gaming on previous driver, I dont run sli though....

I'll guess I skip this one as well.

Older driver still works best for me, without issues...
 
Another driver version I can skip, especilly as its seem to be a hot patch for a trash tier game.

Those are the main fixes. So..

What have we learned here?

This is nearly the same driver as the excellent hotfix issued last week. It fixed Chrome browser micro stutter and UFO Test now shows 'ready' immediately on my 165Hz Gsync. Gaming is smooth as silk too. Great driver update from Nvidia once again.

Yup, hotfix driver is working amazing on my 4080 as well. I have never had any major issues with the Nvidia drivers, I guess the worst in a few years has been the chrome checkerboard issue that this driver fixed and even then that didn't really bother me
