Welp the drivers are out and the performance gains are ... missing completely.

So far same exact performance as old drivers for everyone. Makes sense when you look at it saying "Game Release" and not an actual driver version. So they are including game updates in their "driver performance" patch.

From your own link:

Hitman improvements

Well... nice boost in Hitman, other results seems to be within a margin of error.

Guru3D - Quick comparison: Geforce GeForce 378.66 versus 378.78 DirectX 12 performance

It's in line with their previous statement in disclaimer in this driver announcement - measured with GeForce GTX 1080 at 3840x2160 with launch driver 368.81 vs 378.74

Yeah, good catch.

It seems like 378.74 had Hitman fixes already included.

//I take it back, those tesults in Ryzen reviews are in different res and test has been taken on different platform (obviously)

Ah yeah, looks like that was 1440p in your image, man that is very light font color :p. Wonder why they got so much lower in the review then @ 1440p.
