Hello everybody,
with the help of the people at TechPowerUp I managed to put together a
script that scrapes Windows graphics drivers from Intel, AMD and Nvidia
and extracts public symbols and unwinding tables from them (and
sometimes even richer debug information). [1]
This will somewhat improve crash signatures for graphics-related crashes
but more importantly will yield more consistent stack traces. You can
see an example of a reprocessed crash here:

It will take the script a few weeks to catch up with all the available
drivers, but once it has, it will scrape new drivers within 24h of
release including beta and WHQL versions.
