Yes, I am aware of no Studio drivers availability on nVidia website. But I´ve always used nVidia Geforce Experience which makes whole update driver process faster and automated.
Maybe nVidia had some "bug" in their Geforce Experience software which allowed to search and install Studio drivers for unsupported Maxwell generation and now they fixed it.
I don´t want to create conspiracy theories, but I wish that I had created some proof, that I really had Studio drivers.
Anyway, my conclusion from this is, that missing GPU decoding/encoding is caused by low VRAM on my GPU and I need at least 4GB of VRAM. Studio drivers are not necessary for correct GPU acceleration.
Can you please point me to version of DR, which had lower GPU VRAM requirements?
