User reporting bug

The black screen still flicker at the top of the monitor.I am using it with a dual monitor of MSI 1440p 165Hz G-Sync monitor and AOC 1080p 144Hz G-Sync monitor. For now, the only way to stop this flicker is to remove the secondary monitor.[RTX 3070 Ti FE]
・ ↑ My RTX 3080 Ti has exactly the same problem. I found two solutions. One is to remove the second monitor. The other is to set the power management mode of the NVIDIA control panel to “Priority is given to maximizing performance”. However, in the latter, the GPU temperature rises and the fan keeps spinning at 1000 RPM.

-Stutter will occur in Dying Light 2, RDR2, God of War, Vulkan API games, etc.[RTX2070SUPER/Ryzen95900X/Windows11(TPMoff)]
-If you play Dying Light 2 on DirectX 12 with this driver, stutter will occur.[RTX3080Ti/Ryzen95900X/Windows11]
-God of War and Dying Light 2 seem to have problems depending on the environment. I also had stutters in these two games. But I’m not using the latest drivers, so it could be a game-side issue.

-After using this driver, the behavior of G-Sync is strange and afterimages occur on the texture. It’s like an afterimage of overdrive. Rolling back to the previous driver fixed it.[Lenovo 5 notebook PC RTX 3060 model with 165Hz FHD panel]

-I played CoD Vangard in RTX 3080 Ti / Ryzen 7 3700X / Resizable BAR enabled environment and tested this driver.It works perfectly without any image distortion, and there is no problem with G-Sync. I got better fps than the 497.29 driver.
