I tried every trouble shooting possibility there is, some multiple times - update BIOS, clearing cache and shader cache, DDU nvidia driver, re-installing the sim, scaled down settings, reduced XMP profile, ….etc. You name it and I tried it.

The sim is running super smooth again, great performance and most important not 1 CTD anymore. I hope this can help other too.
My system: intel 14900kf, RTX 4070 ti super , 64 Gb ddr5 6400, m2. 2 Tb + m2. 1 Tb, lot of peripherals, 3 monitors (main 3440x1440)
Most settings on ultra some on high, TLOD 200 - steady 40 FPS (with framegen 80 FPS).
