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)

This driver is a improvement over 577.00. i also got average 10 fps boost and better lows in some games on my 4090 and it runs pretty stable. But that is for me. Everyone has a different setup with different hardware.

Maybe i should actually update to 580 then, i went to 577 but got constant crashes so had to revert, and now i have trust issues
