Curious to hear how it works with DX12 and if we get the same error / crash.

And again nothing for MSFS that pushes DLSS for game play.
Remember when they said to always keep your drivers up to date.

Installed and MSFS started without any problems with DX12. I havenā€™t done any Nvidia GPU updates for several months. This one works well for my first test. I find that the SIM is more smooth but it may be an impression.

RTX 4090, AMD 7950X3D, WIN11, 64 GB RAM, DX12, TLOD 180

EDITED: I confirm after my test on LFPO, the sim is much smoother. Maybe this update?

Did you try to set on Nvidia Filters?

No i never install GeFoce Experience.

I want to know if this driver fixes the issue that, in DX12, at random times we get a crash with error message ā€œyour graphics card has run into an issueā€ or something to this effect, canā€™t remember the exact wordingā€¦

I highly doubt this, the term ā€œinferenceā€ is usually used in AI applications. So this is for sure a change in the driver aimed at AI use cases.

the issue still there, even with the new driver :neutral_face:

guess iā€™ll stick with 531.29 until this is fixed

Me too. Iā€™m on 531.30

I loaded up a short hopā€¦ the same ā€˜encountered a problem with your graphics cardā€™ bug about 60 miles from the airport. My card is not overheating, and Iā€™m not using DX12.

Guess Iā€™ll shelve the game till the next set of drivers. Ever since WU13, Iā€™ve had this issue. And rolling back to 531.29 is not an option for me.

Man that must be disappointing! I cannot offer any suggestions (in a world of CTDs myself so know how you feel)

Could you please give it a try for me? Adjusting the sharpening, color, and contrast can significantly enhance the picture quality compared to the default settings. The most recent driver that works well for me is version 528.49.

To provide further clarification on assessing stability:

  • Use HAGS ON (it is necessary for DLSS 3.0 Frame Generation on RTX4090)
  • Use Nvidia Filters (they provide a significant improvement in visuals)

I have experienced CTD (caused by nvwgf2umx.dll) with both drivers 531.18 and 531.26, but not with the Nvidia driver 528.49.

For example, CTD occurs when approaching a demanding airport, such as Dallas airport (KDFW).

The cleaned driver from Guru3Dā€¦

Tried it last night, one stutter, then no issues. But my system is giving me fits making all my USB things needed to work and then keeping on the Blue Tooth Audio device. Got new PC coming, which is way more powerful than this one, those issues should disappear.

Why is that?

Im curious to know if your issue isnt different if youre using without dx12ā€¦ i have never used dx12 and kept up to date on all my drivers and never had one crash but i do have extreme stutters with certain planes (especially the Headwind a339 on final) sinxe WU13ā€¦ once again these WU always make the sim do something terrible.
