This message has suddenly appeared when I start the simulator, it says I need to update to greater than 535.79.0
If I go into Device Manager, I can see I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti graphics card, and the driver is version 31.0.15.2849. If I select update driver, I get the message “Windows has determined the best driver for this device is already installed”.
Any ideas on what next?
I too have a 1080ti
I just ignored the requested to update and everything runs fine🤷♂️
I checked the NVidia web site, and saw that the latest version supported the 1080Ti, so I downloaded and installed it, the device manager reports it as 31.0.15.3598, although NVidia called it 535.98. Yet to fly with it, but it drives the display ok.

Windows update is always behind what nvidia has on their website so always best to get it from there. You’ll notice the version numbers reported in windows have the same last 5 digits as the nvidia version numbers. I don’t know why they do that but it’s a way to check you have what you think you have.
Have since done a quick test flight, all ok including VR. Its a mystery why there are different displays of the same version number, maybe its no surprise that Windows Device Manager misses the updates.

Got a 3060Ti, running driver version 528.24. I’m pretty content with the status quo and I typically don’t fix something that isn’t broken. However, I do now wonder if I’m missing out on some improvements on FPS increases and/or image quality.
Thoughts on upgrading?

How do you like the 3060ti. I got one recently and am happy with it.
it’s awesome for the price. Smokes any of the 2XXX series cards and gives some of the 3XXX’s a run as well.

Same problem here, I have RTX2080 Super with 536.4 Nvidia driver installed which is the latest.
Could this be the cause of CTDs? Ever since I started seeing this, my sim has experienced CTDs in a majority of my flights.
The part in bold italic is the driver version. You have version 535.98
Just got the message. What is the latest stable game ready driver recommended for MSFS 2020? FWIW, have 3080 mobile GPU.
It’s actually a funny question.
If you have a crash problem with your graphics driver, msfs asks you to read the zendesk ticket
In this ticket we notice the version of the recommended drivers
Download the latest drivers from your manufacturer’s website:
Nvidia : Recommended version: 526.98 release date 2022.11.16
But if you install this version, at the next launch MSFS informs you that the version is not recommended (therefore the ticket is not up to date…) and that you have to switch to 535.79.0
On the other hand if you are in 536.40 MSFS asks you to roll back in 536.23 …
So I imagine… that the latest recommended version (except in the zendesk ticket) is 536.23
i am now installing 536.23 and report back if i have issues
