    Modded and installed just doing my benchmarking runs to see how it performs on my GTX1060 bad news auto tuning is Turning+ only it would seem however the performance read outs are handy.

    Anyone noticed event log service consuming constant low level CPU after installing these? Just noticed this trying to track down why it suddenly started happening. Going to try to clean install the previous version as a sanity check that this change didn't cause it, will report back.

    EDIT: YEP!!
    Clean installed the previous driver version and the constant 2-3% CPU being taken up by the event log service has disappeared.

    One thing I noticed is that GeForce NOW was installed by the driver package, and that was new. Perhaps just uninstalling that will fix it, shrug. Time to go hit up the GeForce forums...
