I think its a common thing with alot of people, i have had that a few times, and i have a 5080.

I have a 5080 and play in 4K, and no issues here. I have played yesterday around 3 hours and today around 2 hours with no issues. A comment from my side, I’m using the 576.40 driver, because with 576.52 I had a lot of stuttering (something that with 576.40 I don’t have).

It is most likely a hardware related issue:

5

I’m running a GTX1080Ti (and normally use Afterburner), so not the same hardware as the OP.

I’ve had this message several times when starting the sim. When I restart the sim with Afterburner switched off, it loads normally, then I’m able to switch Afterburner on again without a problem.

I’ve also had it a few times during a flight - no solution but to exit the sim and start again.
