Nvidia Driver v442.74 worse performance and crashes.
The first game I played after installing this update had worse fps rates and then crashed. After I rolled back to v442.59 the game is performing better.

@dotRov This driver seems a rushed one for delivering the Doom Eternal Game Ready profile optimizations.
Given the slim Release Notes, the lack of new content, and the worse performance all around, (which is specially worrysome on the worse Lower Frame Times) my advice is to stick with the previous driver unless you intend to play Doom on day one and nothing else.
Given the relatively long list of Known Issues (including several ones for Doom Eternal), maybe nVidia will release a more polished driver in the coming days which can tackle those game issues and the performance regressions.
