Brief description of the issue:
Top center of screen shows large glitching pixels in checkered flag pattern under drop down menu bar from both VC and external views. Becomes particularly apparent whilst panning view left/right/up/down.
Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:
Same issue here as well with my 3090. Pixels appear at the top half of the screen, but only when moving. Issue starts occurring randomly through the flight. Sometimes after a few minutes, or an hour. The only way to fix it is close the sim and reopen. This issue didn’t occur at all before Sim Update 5. I see one user referencing render scaling. I have mine at 110, I’ll try to bring it back down to 100 to see if it fixes.
This doesn’t look like typical GPU artifacting. For reference, I have a 3090. The 3000 series won’t exhibit memory artifacting due to error-correcting memory modules. As you can see in the screenshot I’ve attached, my GPU temp is 64C and VRAM modules are at 84C, well within the specs for GDDR6X.
it happens more w/ taa/oversampling. but in certain locations i can find it with no AA and undersampling to 90.
before SU5 taa & oversampling worked and the game looked good and ran fine. if i have any fps it’s from fighting these new artifacts. gpu is 58C only 50% usage.
edit: i reported this on day 1 of su5 and got no response
I have observed the same issue…before SU5 my render scaling was set to 130…no issues, ran great. Now I get the same blocking pixels on the top menu unless I reduce the render scaling to 100…which solves the problems…but gives me lower quality resolution.
Exactly same issue. After PC/Game restart the problem is gone for few mintues and coming back (from 5 mintues to 1hrs) i thought its temps but the issue apperead in windowed mode 600x800 too. All updates/drivers latest.
It is weird because i didnt have this issue in the morning lol
Folks, be sure to post your graphics card if you have this issue. That way we can isolate if it’s Nvidia or AMD. Seems so far, the issue is limited to Nvidia.
I can confirm I solved this issue by rolling back my driver to 466.77 (for RTX3070). Of course this is not a long term solution and the bug needs to be fixed by Asobo.
no problem, completely fixed it for me, I had it on every flight, tried reducing render scaling (was running at 130) still got it, reducing LOD’s which I’d upped to 5 and 9 in cfg, still got it, getting rid of TAA helped a lot, became much rarer, but I hated the look so was still pleased when I got it once haha. But since rolling back drivers not had a single issue with it, so fingers crossed for you!
I’d also recommend everyone with this issue to report this to Nvidia. The sooner they’re made aware of a potential driver issue, the quicker it’ll get fixed.
FYI. I’ve just come over from this thread: Screen tearing, lagging between views
Running a Gigabyte RTX 2060S Windforce Super Gaming OC 8G (3 fans IIRC) with 471.11 drivers and I was seeing that tearing/blocky artifacting yesterday when running > 100% Render Scaling
