I’ve seen very same thing on my system (RTX 3070), though not with the Hotfix diver - I am still on the most-recent Game Ready driver (496.76 I think). I experienced it 2-3 times last night while in a Zoom hangout with a couple friends. I cleared up on its own but definitely off.

With the latest driver, I got the square landing light reflections back. Reverted to 466.77 for now, as I was sure it was fixed in that one.
Where is this new scaling function? Installed the latest driver but don’t know where to find it in the control panel
Eklester,
You have to enable the new scaling function under the NVCP ‘Global Settings’ and then choose a new ‘scaling’ resolution for your monitor from the NVCP. These scaling resolutions only appear once you have enabled it under Global Settings. Doing this will enable the scaling option under your MSFS profile in the NVCP. Otherwise you can use G-Force Experience.

A post of current suggested NVIDIA/Win 10 settings would be great. I have been following this post since the beginning and have gotten lost in the various updates. Currently on latest hotfix, NVIDA control panel set to default and Win 10 game mode off. Getting good results with my 3090, but getting loading stutters/pauses that I wasn’t getting in the past. No GF experience installed.

Will try tomorrow.
I use a 4K monitor and very resolution below that looks horrible on the display.
Maybe I could now render in a lower resolution and upscale to my 4K monitor. Less stress for my CPU/GPU

Thanks, giving those settings a try.

Not everything is correct in this video:
Don’t use max performance in power management mode. Max performance keeps the highest possible clock constantly, even on the menu pages. There’s no reason to do so, just stressing the GPU, inducing heat and power draw for no reason. Performancewise, there’s is no difference between normal and performance mode.

Hi Eklester,
I am not the author of the video, I am sure you realise that.
There are a ‘witches brew’ of different ideas on how to use the NVCP settings available on the internet. So many of them stress the importance of setting the power to ‘Prefer Maximum Performance’. Just like you, I have heard it several times to set it to ‘Auto’.
I use ‘On’ for Low Latency mode and not ULTRA. Fortunately my simulator runs extremely well most of the time. I sometimes get stutters after installing a new driver. If that happens I perform a clean install again and that usually fixes the problem. I have been known to install the same driver three times and it’s usually performed better after the second or third install for some reason.
It would be interesting to hear if anyone tries the settings suggested in the video and finds a worthwhile improvement with stutters and improved FPS, I keep an open mind.

Hi Ken,
Well, that is a good result. Thanx for updating us. To get a slightly improved FPS rate is surely a good thing.

Tried this new NIS feature… looks horrible on my 4K monitor and it’s only a refresh rate of 30 frames, which is also bad

Eklester,
Is it possible that you could set a custom resolution for your monitor? I heard somewhere that someone did just that and said they had good results. I have totally abandoned NIS, lots of video hype about Nvidia giving us extra FPS but disappointing for me too. On the upside, I did get some worthwhile extra FPS with this latest driver without the aid of NIS. I have not heard much from anyone extolling the virtues NIS, (sounds like a US Government agency).
I have tested the settings in the video again and set ‘Low Latency’ mode to on instead of ULTRA.
Just been flying a circuit at Eagle KEGE, a great scenic place to fly. I highly recommend it!

No can’t switch the resolution of the monitor, it’s 4K always.
But I noticed something else with the driver:
In 3DMark i get 18.239 score, where I got almost 19.000 in the past with my RTX3080. Best was 19.103 and mostly 18.800 to 18.900. I wonder where the this 5% hit comes from

Just update the driver to 497.09 ,
each time i go to the outside view in msfs2020 the game crashes , it freezes without any message…
Never had this before
how to role back the driver? never done that …
Hi Gizmo,
The term ‘rolling back a driver’ is misleading. Uninstall the driver using the Windows uninstaller. If you are brave you can use DDU to uninstall all traces of this driver especially if you continue to have problems with this particular driver.
I believe there is a 500 series driver which is going to be released soon…
