SU 6 and this driver broke frame generation on my system. Now theres artifacts when panning views.

Use FSR Framegen v1.1 (instead of v4.0) for now. Disable the Frame Gen setting in Adrenalin and then restart MSFS.

I think the issue actually lies with MSFS 1.8.14. Also, be aware that the “max frame rate” setting in MSFS seems broken for me too; things run more smoothly once it’s disabled in conjunction with in-game VSync.

I did all that and it didn’t work. Since it’s working almost stutter free, only when looking for big part of airports, I don’t think I will even rollback the drivers. It’s the only thing I didn’t tried yet.
