Ohh, I hope the software hasn’t done any damage to the system. I wouldn’t trust Windows now and would probably reinstall. I’m always a bit paranoid about that.

A bunch of serious open issues, some of them since long time.

Right. 3 months or so since the last stable driver from Nvidia. It’s ridiculous.

For all of you suffering from the long line of Chrome issues like flickering, stuttery scrolling in YouTube, screen tearing, random black screen, etc., go to chrome://flags and change the ANGLE graphics setting to “OpenGL”.

I will keep using 457.30

Seems better to me on the CRJ and F15 which I just tested. Better FPS and smoother overall, at lease so far. I’ll test more tomorrow, but I think it is real. [I haven’t test VR fyi]

[EDIT: sorry, I forgot to say I am using an RTX 3090 FE–obviously important information to know. with i9 10980XE]

I have a RTX2070 mobile.

Anybody tested it on their RTX20*0 equiped laptop?

342

Mark, that’s interesting to know, thank you for the info. I will give the driver a go at the weekend. I don’t expect too much though. I don’t use the simulator much now. Charles
