Who will be the first to install these and claim they're seeing improved "smoothness"? 

Not me,😉.

 

Had a lot of trouble with the last Nvidia driver and my Oculus rift s.

 

If it ain't broken don't fix it..

Very hesitant about this one because things are already running great here. Looking forward to the guinea pigs to report back!

I like what I have now with the 451.48, not going to chance it.

I noticed no difference moving up 

Me too. Updated. Will test a few days. First short flight was solid in vr

Happens often. Not because the new driver is better but because the remove also their NCP profile "tweaks" by installing the new driver.

... or their GPU VRAM just went up by 3GB...

Death Standing Prepar3D?  😉

I'm extremely happy with the 451.48 drivers with WDDM 2.7 support and Windows 10 (2004) with GPU scheduling enabled. 

Performed a flight in the updated FSLabs A320 for P3D V5 from FlightBeam's KDEN to FlyTampa's KLAS with ASP3D (TrueSKY enabled) and ORBX and 60% AI Traffic with every graphics setting slider to the right (and with my TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=10 tweak and a few others) and it was locked solid to 30Hz/30 FPS and NO long frames (aka stutters), not a single one ... couldn't believe RTSS data log.  No texture loading issues, no AG rendering issues, crisp clear terrain.

I must admit, this is probably the first time I'm hesitant to update from 451.48 to 451.67, but it's a minor rev so hopefully it's safe.

And this is on my now old of the shelf 9900K at only 5Ghz because my Koolance Chiller isn't working as efficiently as it was, so bypassed to standard water cooling.

It's one of the flights you just go Wow!

Cheers, Rob.

Rob, do you lock 30 frames or Unlimited+Vsync in P3Dv5 settings for the above? I understand your monitor is @30Hz.

Thanks.

I installed the new driver and I did not notice any difference between this new driver and the previous one.

I always take this reports with a portion of salt: you spend thousands of dollars for a simming rig and then you run your monitors with the pre-medival age refresh rate of 30Hz... I know it is probably the best combo for smoothness, but until I hurt my eyes with a 30Hz refresh rate, I rather have some slight stutters in my sim ;-)

I'm still on al older driver. If it aint broken, don't fix it .....
