yes I've tested 4824,
because they're labeled "game ready" for The Crew Motorfest,
which I was interested in trying out after I had played the April Alpha and July Beta as well :
Intel drivers, and depending on what game you want to play,
have still very 'random' results, regarding perfomance & gfx glitches.
in general, regarding 'overall' performance and stability,
if you take into account as many games as possible, and especially those that have already been around when Arc was released,
the situation has become better a lot during Oct 22 (37xx) over Dec 22 (39xx) and maybe even 41xx (march) or 43xx (april),
but then with the 45xx series, especially shortly before & including after driver 4644, it got a lot worse again
(for me at least.. and the games I usually play, but also in general, everyday desktop+firefoy youtube experience)
but I might not be alone, I've read several other people reporting similar experiences / feelings.
and I'm not sure how much it would help these days especially after the 4644 driver,
if you just do DDU and install an older driver package?
might help sometimes
might not help in other cases
I believe automatic driver package wont downgrade FW/Bios if it detects a newer one :
Intel staff said downgrading wont work.
but it might does work after all, just look at the guide & bios collection here in this subforum 
)
well, and finally here's some screenshots from performance of The Crew Motorfest:
The short answer: 4824 (Sept) restores performance & stability in that game to a point that is very similar to when you run it with 4311 (April) driver release:
exemplarily, you can exactly see here what I and some others are talking about - it got gradually worse the last few driver versions during last weeks / months.
I forgot to test other games tbh, I should have done that I realise that now,
to see if we have a solid case here or if it's only like this in Motorfest.
because now I would have to do the tedious procedure of reinstalling all those versions again

4311 was what I tried at the very first in the release version of Motorfest, because it was the one that was the most recent one back when I tried this games alpha version)
then, 4514 also still works, sort of, but as we get closer to 4644 mark, things get terrible:
you will notice the hangs / freezes ingame during the integrated benchmark, and you can see it in results.
also, there was weired texture loading issues at the start of the first benchmark scene,
while it was already running, textures & stuff were at first missing and then took a few seconds to load / pop up.
Im also not sure what the heck is so terrible broken with 4578, I tested that one too, because I like BG3 and that one iirc is the "game ready" game for said title.
I might re-install that driver, because it looks so off, might have been a one-time error, measurement failure, idk, but you could really notice those spikes during the bench as well.
My point being :
With Arc, you still never know what you'll get, it's like a pig in a poke, full of surprises.
each driver update might break things, even if they used to work.
and with each new game (like Starfield, best example), you might have to wait for the next one, that fixes stuff.
regarding GTA V .. why don't you try it out yourself ?
what is it that's reportedly broken? launch? gfx glitches? crashes? single or online only?
