Nvidia Releases GeForce Game Ready 511.17 WHQL Driver: support RTX 3080 12GB

Today Nvidia released the GeForce Game Ready 511.17 WHQL driver, which provides support for the new GeForce RTX 3080 12GB graphics card. In this version of the driver, Nvidia has fixed random stutters or freezes in games including Detroit Become Human; flicker/disappearing text when 12-bit color is used, mouse pointer gets stuck after turning on HDR from the Windows Control, panel or after toggling G-Sync from the NVIDIA control panel. To workaround, click the mouse (right or left button). The mouse cursor will be sluggish for a few seconds before returning to normal operation.
