I am using a 1070 GPU, I initially had terrible stutters after the simulator update 12. I fixed the problem and installed the 531.41 driver. My simulator is running amazingly well with no stutters at all on my last flight around Vancouver in bad weather. I think this is due to improvements to the simulator and not the new driver. As soon as I installed the new release of FSUIPC and cleared out my shader cache and DirectX cache, the stutters went away. The simulator is a joy to use without stuttering. I am assuming updating FSUIPC was the key to my fix?
After installing the new driver I had the “Your graphics device has encountered a problem and Microsoft Flight Simulator will exit” error on my first flight after about 30 minutes. Reverted to 531.29 and no error since. RTX 3080 10G
Amazingly, I am not getting any hint of stutters so far. Something has changed dramatically. I am flying with FS Traffic around CYVR and EIDW in the Airbus A330 C150, Honda Jet. New version of FSUIPC, patch 12 and the new Nvidia driver. Although I did not experience the benefits immediately after the recent sim update, I am experiencing much better performance because of a possible optimisation of the simulator in the new patch.
Same here…ctd with the latest driver (your graphics device has encountered a problem…) so I reverted to 531.29 and now it is running perfect, no crashes (rtx3070)
Since updating to 531.41 yesterday, I’ve been getting this error within minutes of starting a flight (sometimes before clicking “Fly Now”), every time, resulting in a crash to desktop. Thought it might have been the AN-2 initially, but I’ve recreated the problem in a T-6, too.
Tried reinstalling 531.41 - no joy.
Rolled back to 528.02 (what I had on hand) and have just done some circuits with no issues. Going to try 531.29 later, but if you don’t hear from me - the rig either caught fire, or everything’s rosy…
Had 3 CTD’s with MSFS2020 in a row with new driver. and 1 Graphfcs device encounted a Problem since updating to this driver. gone back to previous one. Win 11 , RTX 3070TI, Intel 12700k, 32gigs Ram, etc. etc.
The 531.41 game ready driver is very nice as far as I’m concerned. Installed without GeForce and I ticked the clean install box. Anyone still having issues may need to clear their shader cache or failing that maybe a DDU before reinstalling the driver.
After further testing with Driver 531.41 I discovered I’m having performance issues in some games.
Also getting a lot of screen-flickering on all 3 of my monitors.
Rolled back to previous Driver and everything is back to normal.
I reported my issues to Nvidia.
