Working on settings for MSFS with my new PC with the 4070ti tonight including playing with the DLSS Frame Generation.
Very odd experience and now it won’t work.
First, only today did I research and find out about this option. So, went into Windows 10 and enable HAGS and the previously grayed out DLSS setting in sim graphics menu was live and I was able to turn it on.
So, I played around with it for awhile trying different aircraft and airports.
I was on a runway switching views out of the cockpit when all of the sudden my TV screen went blank, I heard a brief high pitched noise and then a blue screen appeared with a message that said “your device has experienced an issue” then my PC quickly rebooted. It was not a normal MSFS CTD.
Windows came back up then I had to restart the sim because it wasn’t shutdown properly. It loaded fine but when I went back into my graphics options to keep playing with settings, the DLSS option was now grayed out and I cannot get it to turn on again. I toggled HAGS off and on in Windows and rebooted and restarted the computer and sim several times and it will not work. Also redownloaded the Nvidia driver to be sure it wasn’t corrupt (did not uninstall and reinstall).
Here’s where it gets weird. My performance all of the sudden got nearly 20 fps better using non DLSS Frame Generation than before.
I don’t know what happened. Anyone have any ideas what happened and how to fix it? Thanks.
Blue screen and imidiate reboot indicates usually hardware failure. Given the fact you played with graphics settings, I would assume something wrong with your graphics card. Just bring your new PC back to your retailer.
how often you buy a new pc ? some days ago you wrote about a new pc with a 3060
The problem you describe sounds strange and we need more infos: e.g. have you simple replaced the 3060 with a 4070ti ? , whats your other hardware “now” , have you checked windows event viewer for log message, are all drivers up2date , etc. etc…
A BSOD is allways not good and can point to a hardware problem, in same cases also drivers or e.g. anti-vir tools. In case of you own new hardware, there might be a clear tendenz… ( in special when you wrote: “heard a brief high pitched noise” )
Ha ha… Good observation and very fair comments/questions.
Yep, this has been a journey for me… From Xbox to PC 1, now PC 2. PC 1 was an off the shelf unit from Costco (MSI Codex X). I didn’t like it for various reasons and returned it. PC 2 is its replacement that I had a computer shop build for me.
Here are the specs for the new PC 2:
Ryzen 7 5800x3D
Asus 4070ti
MSI B550M Pro VDH
Kingston Fury 32GB DDR4 RAM
Kingston nv2 1 TB SSD
1000 Thermal Take G3
Fractal Design Torrent Case
“Monitor” is a new 55” LG C2 OLED - 4k 120hz
I contacted Nvidia this morning and I am working through the diagnostics including the event viewer and attempting a “clean install” of the driver, etc…
Again, what is very odd is, after the reboot, without the new DLSS functionality an option, the FPS and performance saw significant gains, like 20 average and up to 30-40 fps in some cases. And it seems to be working great otherwise.
hmmm… thanks for infos… so powerfull enough components.
And you can still not enable DLSS and Frame-Gen ?
I recommend to let run stress-tools, which realy check all aspects of the card. These noise you mention, it can come from the PSU , but also from the GPU. In very high load it can possible happen ( may be the english word is: coil whine ? ) , but together with a reboot… hmmm…
In case you can never again reproduce the reboot situation and you executed some stress-tests, then you can may be relaxt and it was a “one time thing”. A real explanation about more fps without enabled Frame-Gen I not realy have in that case… may be the “reboot” cleaned somewhat what former caused low fps
