Eklester, I agree.
I have my V-Sync set to ‘Fast’ in the Nvidia Control Panel and ‘Off’ within the simulator options, I find this is the best set-up for me. SneakyRiver334 could try that too.
Charles.
That same thing happened to me last night for the first time ever during a 75 minute flight. RTX 3070 8GB running 496.79. Very, very weird. I run VSync OFF in the sim, with a 1440p G-Sync 1440p monitor. G-Synch was active in the NCP and verified per my monitor’s OSD status info. At the time, I was getting 80+ fps (monitor is capable of up to 165 fps).
The effect started about 45 minutes into the flight and continued to the end. Afterwards, I exited to the menu, spawned another flight and the visual glitch remained.
I quit the sim, played a bunch of Halo Infinite at 100+ fps with no visual glitches, then restarted MSFS. The weird visuals were gone with the restart.
i uninstalled old drivers, and i installed the latest one, with out exsperience. (link is borowed from above post :
i used the one The aviato3506 posted above here. And it works as charm now.
And Vsynk should be on
I also try NIS. Because MSFS is a borderless window (not a separate game screen), I have to set the desktop resolution to Nis upscaling first and then set MSFS display to the same (Lower) desktop resoltion. Upscaling from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 on my 2k monitor gives the same FPS as native 2560 resolution… 
I am on the public beta MSFS. Although NIS works (overlay is show at green), somehow MSFS is not programmed for NIS upscaling (maybe because of the renderscale slider in settings does the same?)
System 9700K 32GB 2080RTX nvidia driver 497.09
Adapter “NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080”
Monitor 0
Windowed 0 <-Turn of windowed mode?
FullscreenBorderless 0 ← If in fullscreen window mode use border
Resolution 3840 2160
FullScreenResolution 3840 2160
PrimaryScaling 1.000000
SecondaryScaling 1.000000
See the above settings the way it was explained to me early on was
windowed 0 means dont use window mode by default,
the second entry means, If you are full screen window mode force a border.
Seems to work that way here.
I change the UserCfg with your values. Doesnt work for me. I still need to change the desktop first.
But this NIS mode still doent change the FPS in MSFS for me (and for some others i read). So we have to wait on ASOBE. Perhaps they give DLSS a try.
Try resetting back to defaults or closing nVidia Control Panel and see if the crashes stop. Eliminated my CTDs
CPU Limit then. Classic case, if FPS stay roughly the same with lower resolutions, you are in a CPU limit. No chance to get significant more FPS without lowering settings
Thanks. Your absolutely right!
I am on CPU limit. (limited by mainthread). I checked it with dev mode FPS counter on screen and set the sim to lower CPU heavy and more GPU heavy. I set the buildings and terrain slider somewhat lower and also the precaching on medium. I also overcloced my CPU somewhat from 4600 to 4800Mhz. The fps counter gives now limited by GPU 
The frames go 10% up from 47/48 to 52/53. Upscaling from 2176 to 2560, thats 15%, but i think the NIS sharpness slider cost also some GPU power.
Hello, I couldn’t help but notice your view (and “eklester’s”) that “prefer maximum performance” in NCP is not suggested. I have to admit that till I ready your post, I had mine in this setting having followed other people’s guidance but now I tried all three options, namely “Prefer Maximum Performance”, “Optimal Power”, “Adaptive”.
I am getting the same performance in terms of FPS in all three as I lock it at 30 in NCP. However, GPU performance metrics differ as per attached table. My question has two parts:
a. Do these differences make sense ?
b. Assuming they do, which is better, to run lower utilization (90% in the example) with increased temperature and power (max perf or optimal seem to be very much alike) or to be at 100% most of the time but get lower temperature and power ?
Many thanks
Please note the new build is for those players participating in the Pre-Release Test. This is not being deployed to players on the live build.

I see vertical sync in the NCP but I don’t see G-sync. Am I missing something? Thanks
You are missing G-SYNC or a G-SYNC Compatible display.
Geforce exp no more works 22222222222222222
Lee,
Hmm? I think I would just uninstall/re-install your driver or install/uninstall G-Force Experience manually.
I am not aware of any bug that stops GFE from working?
Charles.
497.29 out now and it looks like the crashing and purple / blue patches are fixed.
Not available at Guru3D at the moment.
Fixed Issues in this Release
- [Microsoft Flight Simulator]: The game may crash to the desktop during gameplay. [3454519]
- [Microsoft Flight Simulator]: Purple/blue artifacts appear on ground textures in the game. [3454530]
- [Supreme Command:Forged Alliance/Supreme Commander 2]: Performance drop occurs when there is mouse movement. [3405920]
- Desktop may stutter after extended period when mouse cursor is moved. [3443235]
- In multi-monitor configurations, the screen may display random black screen flicker. [3405228]
- [NVIDIA Control Panel]: Spelling error in the German language NVIDIA Control Panel → Manage 3D Settings → Shader Cache Size default option. [3442310]
Windows 10/11 Issues
- [Deathloop][HDR]: TDR/corruption occurs in the game with Windows HDR enabled. [200767905] If this issue occurs, toggle the Windows HDR setting.
- Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed may crash on courses where players drive through water. [3338967]
- [HDR][G-Sync]: Mouse pointer gets stuck after turning on HDR from the Windows Control Panel or after toggling G-Sync from the NVIDIA control panel. [200762998] To work around, click the mouse (right or left button). The mouse cursor will be sluggish for a few seconds before returning to normal operation.
- [NVIDIA Advanced Optimus][NVIDIA Control Panel]: After setting the display multiplexer type to “dGPU”, the setting is not preserved across a reboot or resume from S4. [200779758]
- [NVIDIA Image Scaling][Desktop]: The screen moves to the upper left corner on cold boot when Image Scaling is applied to the desktop. [3424721] Do not apply NVIDIA Image Scaling to the desktop. It is intended only for video upscaling or for games which do not run with a scaling resolution unless the same Image Scaling resolution is applied on the desktop.
- [NVIDIA Image Scaling][DirectX 11 video apps]: With Image Scaling enabled, video playback is corrupted or results in a system hang after performing an HDR transition. [3431284] If HDR is required to be toggled from the Microsoft Control Panel, be sure to switch to a different Image Scaling resolution.

Thanks for the heads-up!
