I’ve had CTD’s quite often. Almost every flight. I’m still on driver 21.3.1, but I’m not sure it’s driver related. There are many ‘fixes’ that I’ve tried over the past weeks. What helps (somewhat) is to use the Radeon Chill setting (under game settings) with both max and min sliders at 30, a slight undervolt (1150mv), min freq. 2000mhz and custom fan curve in the driver. In OpenXR no render scale adjustment, no preview. In the game 100%TAA, high/ultra settings.
My hope is the new version will solve this. I’ve enrolled in the test flight so I don’t have to wait until the 27th of July
Actually if the opportunity comes I think I’ll get a 3080Ti or 3090 should they be offered for MSRP (or close to MSRP). The 3080Ti only has 12Gb or RAM though, that worries me a bit. For 6K VR gaming that seems a bit low…
I don’t know where you live but RTX3090 are available here in Spain, also RTX3080 TI or not TI. Saying that prices are really too high. Just checked few seconds ago, a small part, more are available:
I’m in The Netherlands. I know some in The Netherlands have ordered cards from Spain (and France and Germany) in the past, but now they are available here as well. But unfortunately for the same highly inflated prices you have. The only option to obtain one at MSRP is to order a Nvidia FE edition. Nvidia - for some reason - doesn’t offer the FE in the Netherlands. You can only obtain it through some German and French sites but you need a bot of some sort and a VPN-connection… There are people that know how to do this and sell those at inflated prices through Ebay. I’m a bit hestitant to support them. Of course I’m also on the list of EVGA, but in Europe it’s almost not moving at all.
You know, for now I’m pretty happy with my RTX3070 even if I first wanted an RTX3080. MSFS is the only Sim, Apps, Games that is so demanding in 2D and VR and I can play at ultra with my 1080p LCD TV. I’ll keep mine for the next 2 year (I made a bank loan to spread the payment over 2 years) unless my financial situation stabilize, in that case I’ll do the same for a new more powerful GPU, selling the RTX3070. For now, it’s only a problem for VR, but with some tweaking I have an acceptable result, and future optimization will help for sure…
