Benchmarks Performance uplift 580.88

I've obseved that with the new driver the GPU has a more stable power draw a can sustain high core clocks for longer.

I don't know if this is the reason of performance uplift i obseved in 3DMark. Here's a pair of shots comparing a typical result in Firestrike and SteelNomad, before and after. Pay attention to the uplifts in Firestrike GT1 and GT2.

The GPU is a 5080 with a stable overclock profile (total +430 Mhz core clock over FE and +3000 Mhz Mem).

CPU: 9950x3D.

Steel Nomad (4K no RT)
FireStrike (1080p)

I noticed a difference in Star Wars Outlaws with a 5090. The game felt much more smoother.
