    @Phoenix are you ready to test this, bruh? :vbthumbsup: A good advice from Poopusan Camp... Hold your hand over your nose while testing to avoid nasty odors or black smoke :biggrin:

    NVIDIA Releases the GeForce 398.86 Beta Drivers

    NVIDIA today released a small, yet seemingly important enough update to their GeForce driver suite. Shipping under the 398.96 beta version, the new graphics driver specifically addresses an issue whereas Windowed G-Sync mode might stutter after upgrading to Windows 10 April 2018 Update. There's no other declared features in the release notes, so if you've been experiencing this issue, just make the jump. You can grab the drivers below.

    Internal monitor custom refresh rates needs to be set twice by exiting nV control panel "...not supported" and then re-applying settings.

    Haven't had much time..I will test a few games and applications later today.
