Impressed by the enhancements brought about by DLSS 3 and the addition of support for additional games. NVIDIA's efforts to fix those issues are commendable as well. So excited for a game that runs more smoothly!

Can anyone share their experiences regarding the fixed stuttering issue in Arknights: Endfield? Has it improved gameplay significantly?

Pretty much useless to ask about a driver which was released 6(!) months ago.
I seriously think these questions are spam.
