    Well to my shock I didn't need to mod the driver for once. Will be installing it very very shortly and will let you peeps know the outcome.

    Edit: Benching new drivers now using stock clocks Normal score on Firestrike is 9,600 with drivers before hand however with the new driver I get 9,801.

    So it's not bad now let see how it goes tonight whilst gaming on Div 1 see how many BSODs/GSODs I get.

    Strange. Call of Duty Warzone is running smoother now.

    It seems so but will keep you updated as I play more games and put in my overclocks.

    As it stands my frame times are more consistent which is a plus stability is the next point to look at.

    But this far it's getting a from me for now.

    Install seems to run, but, afterwards, NVIDIA app reports version as 4.32. Guess I will go back to 446.14 until NVIDIA gets around to releasing this version. Nice to know it works ok - and thanks for posting.
    BTW, took two reboots to get it uninstalled (on my desktop machine). Gigabyte laptop seems to like it. Will await new version for the desktop.

    Best,

    Joe

    Thank you for posting this driver. This seems to be the first driver since 419.35, that does not need any modding for 980m on M17x R4. Every version between them failed to install with ‘Couldn’t find compatible hardware' error. This is great, thank you! :)

    Edit: autocorrect on mobile :D
