Added support for OpenCL 3.0, the latest major version of OpenCL maintaining backward
compatibility with OpenCL 1.2. NVIDIA OpenCL 3.0 continues to support existing OpenCL 1.2 functionality as well as Khronos and vendor extensions that are already supported with NVIDIAOpenCL 1.2 drivers.
The following new features beyond existing NVIDIA OpenCL 1.2 features are supported by NVIDIA OpenCL 3.0
RGBA vector component naming in OpenCL C kernels
pragma_unroll hint
opencl_3d_image_writes
clCreate*WithProperties APIs which can be used as replacement for existing clCreateBuffer/Image APIs.
clSetContextDestructorCallback
clCloneKernel from OpenCL 2.1
clEnqueueSVMMigrateMem from OpenCL 2.1
Incorporates the following experimental 2.0 features:
Device side enqueue
The current implementation is limited to 64-bit platforms only.
OpenCL 2.0 allows kernels to be enqueued with global_work_size larger than the compute capability of the NVIDIA GPU. The current implementation supports only combinations of global_work_size and local_work_size that are within the compute capability of the NVIDIA GPU.
The maximum supported CUDA grid and block size of NVIDIA GPUs is available at http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-programming-guide/index.html#compute-capabilities.
For a given grid dimension, the global_work_size can be determined by CUDA grid size x CUDA block size.
For executing kernels (whether from the host or the device), OpenCL 2.0 supports non-uniform ND-ranges where global_work_size does not need to be divisible by the local_work_size. This capability is not yet supported in the NVIDIA driver, and therefore not supported for device side kernel enqueues.
Shared virtual memory
The current implementation of shared virtual memory is limited to 64-bit platforms only.
Application Profiles
Added the following SLI profiles.
Shenmue III (NVIDIA Turing GPUs only)
The Medium (NVIDIA Turing GPUs only)
Other Changes
Added support for extended DP-to-HDMI 2.1 PCON clock frequency range to better support 8K TVs.
Changed the G-SYNC on-screen status indicator to be less obtrusive.
Limitations in This Release
The following features are not currently supported or have limited support in this driver release:
OpenCL 3.0 Known Issues
Device-Side-Enqueue related queries may return 0 values, although corresponding built-ins can be safely used by kernel.
This is in accordance with conformance requirements described at https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenCL/specs/3.0-unified/html/OpenCL_API.html#opencl-3.0-backwards-compatibility
The denorms that were flushed to zero by default when cl-fast-relaxed-math on OpenCL 1.2 drivers won't be flushed to zero with OpenCL 3.0 driver by default.
Using HDR with Games
There may be issues resulting from the interaction between in-game HDR settings and the
Windows HDR settings. See the NVIDIA Knowledge Base Article 5072 (https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5072) for details.

Good release, for my system at least. I do not have to use dev drivers anymore. Gsync is fixed for low refresh rate and HAGS does not crash my system. Kinda feels smoother too but that could be just placebo.
On my system Resizable Bar states disabled still waiting on new bios from ASUS
Same. Updated Bios on my z390 Aorus Master, enabled 4G encoding and set "Resizable BAR" to "Auto", converted OS disk to GPT and GPU-Z reporting that it's still disabled.
Where do you guys check updates for MSI cards? Dragon center or the live update tool which does not open at all for me...

Generally bios files will show up here first. At some point MSI will post a bios update but it will be months from now due to the legalize they will need to post with the updated bios to release them from all responsibility if something goes wrong.

I guess Live Update tool, which shows it was updated for ReBAR support, although I think only for motherboards. Can't find any information for MSI cards, but I guess it can take until end of April.
