NVIDIA released driver version 580.82.09 which is the new recommended driver, although it only has a single fix but an important one for some users. This follows on from the 580.82.07 driver released on September 2nd which had a few more fixes.

The one-liner for this update is:

Updated the driver to fall back to 8 BPC when 10 BPC output is not supported for a particular mode. This prevents some HDMI displays from showing a black screen.

Hopefully soon we'll actually finally see that VKD3D / DirectX12 game optimization actually in a released driver, but it might still be a few months away as NVIDIA never give an actual roadmap or timings on anything. Unlike Mesa, which has a dedicated release schedule.

NVIDIA also released the 570.190 driver as well for the older series, which includes this one-liner:

Minor bug fixes and improvements.
