    I like that they release drivers to fix specific issues people are having without them having to wait until the next proper release.

    QA'ing drivers on so many hardware and software variations must be ridiculously expensive, time consuming and frankly frustrating these days.

    These new drivers slightly reduced graphic score on Time spy (-200pts) and increased temps by 4C. Reverting back to 442.01 fixed the issue. So looks like a driver specific problem but not sure how it reflect in gaming experience, probably not something noticeable (except for temps).
