Coinciding with mtoa 5.2.2, I have noticed that docs.arnoldrenderer.com has become the latest vicitm of Autodesk's collectivization, where article dates do not exist, article history does not exist, and article authors do not exist.
The Getting Started with Arnold GPU page has experienced, in addition to the broad censorship of article metadata, a strange revert in the information presented regarding GPU driver recommendations.

Previously, I had posted regarding changes to Arnold GPU. In this thread, I noted the argument within the Arnold docs on a recommended or required driver version, which resulted in the Getting Started with Arnold GPU page receiving an update that changed the stated recommended driver version from 472.12 to 511.09. This came with a vague explanation that Optix "7" (no minor release specified) requires an R495+ driver, which is amibugous & debatable, but was at least consistent with the behavior of the then-current Arnold release and Arnold's prospective future. Notice, however, that the Getting Started with Arnold GPU page on the replacement "documentation" website now specifies 472.12 once more. This discrepancy needs to be addressed.
Did Arnold revert its requirement to an R470 driver, or has Autodesk's ministry of truth made a clerical error? Can we expect the next major Arnold release to support R470 drivers?
In addition to this, the links in the article body on the Getting Started with Arnold GPU page are non-functional.
- The features and known limitations link leads to a nonexistent web server.
- The supported GPUs link leads to a nonexistent web server.
- The Render Settings > System link leads to a nonexistent web server.
Lastly, I am obligated to recommend that the article authors unnamed force which produces the articles for the replacement "documentation" website consider adding the release date of each mota/Arnold release into the body of the article itself, since, again, all article metadata wrongthink on every single article is not Autodesk-Approved™ and is withheld from viewers does not exist.
While checking in on the replacement "documentation" website just today, I noticed that the mtoa release dates have been added in to the article bodies. Thank you to the article authors unnamed force which has done this.
The GPU driver-related information has also silently been revised and once again states that an R510 driver is recommended.
