I have problems with lights, artifacts on the track, artifacts in the smoke of the a3nx etc, I have the latest nvidia drivers installed, I thought they had solved the issue of artifacts in lights but I see that they have not! anyone else have the same problem? I have the latest drivers updated today (I don’t remember the numbering)

The problems I mention are not frequent but they do appear sometimes

Should I go back to the 466.77 drivers? those are the only ones that didn’t give problems with artifacts!

Then go back. The only reason to go to new Nvidia drivers are:-

Security updates.
Adds a feature that can be used in the Sim.
Adds a fix to something they have broken.
You need the updated driver for some other software or game that you use.

I completely removed the Nvidia software and drivers last year and let Windows install the driver (and update it) and I’ve had no further issues.

I don’t understand what you mean by what I have to do, should I go back to 466.77? I only play fs2020 and those drivers were the only ones that didn’t give me a problem

What I mean is for me, I completely uninstalled all of the Nvidia drivers and software.

I restarted my computer and Windows update automatically installed a version of the Nvidia driver which has not had any problems for me.

You could try it.

#6

what version did you install?…

#7

You don’t install any version, you just let Windows do it.

#9

but what version is the one that has automatically installed windows?

#10

I’m not sure, I didn’t check. Windows has updated a couple of time over the past 4 months.

It will be a version number that is specifically for Windows update. It will not be the same as the drivers on the Nvidia website.
