went back to older nVidia driver: 511.79 since 512.15 made other people crash in other games too. i limited FPS from 45 to 30 since i thought i may be the undervolting.

could do one flight in vr for constant 90minutes without any crash.

solution: if you use 512.15 try going back to 511.79. try to limit fps.

I have similar specs to OP but RTX 3080 on a new PC flying almost exclusively in VR on HP Reverb G2. Over a period of 4 weeks I have managed to reduce CTDs from about every 30 mins to almost nil (none in the last 6 hours of flying time).
CTDs were most likely in decending order:
On exit from VR
Immediately after landing
On final approach
In menus
Pretty much tried everything in CTD troubleshooting checklists etc. This is my subjective opinion of the changes that made the most difference to reducing CTD frequency.

Reverted back to stable Nvidia driver
Disabled Steam from managing controllers
Disabled motherboard auto updater directly in BIOS
SU9

Hope this helps others.
