Stuttering with newest Nvidia Driver, anyone else?

[VNRG]

Updated my driver via the Nvidia App and I have noticed that it is causing stuttering in the main menu if DLSS is enbabled when scrolling up and down in the graphics settings.
After disabling it and using native resolution, the stuttering in the UI was gone.

My guess would be, the old DLSS is buggy with the new driver since also apparently, MHW isn't supported for the DLSS Override feature. This means basically, you need to revert the driver update to play older games with DLSS again or stick to native where the GPU needs to do more work.

I had no problems before, played on high settings with DLSS and had no crashes or framedrops. But here are my specs if you are still interested:

CPU: 12700KF
GPU: 4080 Ti Super
RAM: 32 gb
OS: Windows 10

572.16? People are generally not pleased with it.

I'm still on 566.03 which breaks task bar transparency, but the game runs relatively fine besides the occasional hiccup.
How was performance on other drivers since then? The response to 566.36 wasn't too hot either, afair.

yeah 572.16, I was previously on 566.36 and the game was smooth while DLSS was active

I've been running into stuttering on my 3080 since the last nvidia driver, and this one as well. I turned all my settings into the dumpster and it's gone mostly away besides the occasional hiccup but I'm wondering why it's like this now, I was able to play damn near 4k ultra everything before the driver updates.

nvidia has introduced DLSS overrides, basically a new tech from the 5k series for the old GPUs, but obviously poorly optimized as usual, I will test MHW today without enabling DLSS and use native to see, if I get any stuttering because I kinda wanna use the new driver for MHWilds, but maybe it's overall better to roll back the driver update until Nvidia get their thing together lol

Cons of using the latest version. A quick downgrade should fix it.

Try downgrade it. If it run without issue before the update as you suggest, then its clear the latest update is the bad apple.

Did some tests ingame and hunted an alatreon and apparently DLSS with the new driver update on MHW is still great, I had no stuttering, it is just odd that it was stuttering in the main menu graphics options when scrolling up and down but not ingame, so kinda just a false flag, so to everyone who was afraid to update the driver, you can still do it, especially for MHWilds soon

Driver install clear the shader cashe.
Just play for a few minutes and eventually the shader will recompile and the game becomes smooth again.

Having the same issue, also on a 3080! Tried the December drivers and the latest drivers. I think we're just at the mercy of a driver update that addresses it. Fortunately in my case after running the game for a few minutes the problem goes away, but it comes back if I restart my PC. I can just deal with it until Wilds comes out at least, but still really odd.

This, pretty strange.

Windows update sucks as well.

Dont think it's a recent nvidia driver that causing the stuttering in the graphics setting caused by having dlss.
I'm on 560.94 and im experiencing stuttering in the graphics menu,Both trough the main menu and ingame.
Have no idea how it even makes sense for dlss to effect specifically the graphics menu and cause stutters by simply scrolling down in that specific menu.

DLSS in MHW cant be updated through Nvidia App because it is very old DLSS 1 version, like a Final Fantasy XV.Also i see constant fps drop in every place-browser scrolling, games and emulators.It seems Windows issue, not Nvidia.
