I do frame capping by Riva Tuner RTSS to 40 fps. In MSFS 2020 (and Prepar3D too ) I set VSYNC ON, but no frame limiting by the SIM (100% monitor refresh rate). Together with my VRR-Monitor (āG-Sync compatibleā) it offers me a smooth experience too: the monitor runs at 80 Hz (as for VRR below 45 fps, the monitor doubles the frames). No stutter at all, low power consumption.
Just another word to 581.08: updated from 566.14 first to 580.88, it worked about a week. Yesterday the sim crashed after starting a flight (āFLYā). Updated from 580.88 to 581.08, same problem.
The solution was either continue with DX11 but change DLSS to TAA or select DX12-BETA to use DLSS.
As 580.88 worked for a week, maybe a Windows 10 update on sunday (Cumul Win 2025-07 and Dotnet-Updates) is responsible for the issue.
Now today did my second flight in 581.08 for about two hours using the mentioned settings - no problem found.
First flight in SU3 retail release and Iāve got DLSS 310.3.0 preset K (via DLSS Swapper) right out of the box in 581.08 and everything is working as expected.
I was running 580.97 and just updated to 581.08. Something isnāt right with this driver on my end. I see a max of 80 FPS and it just stays there more or less. I rolled back to 580.97 and Iām seeing 115+.
EDIT Besides the CTD I mentioned earlier, Iāve also noticed that with the new driver, Microsoft Edge behaves strangely when scrolling pages - kind of like small stutters. The same happens in some games for example Elite Dangerous - something is definitely off with this driver.
581.08 is āSo Far, So Goodā for me.
My first few flights after the SU3 update were a disaster. First CTDās Iāve had in many months, 20% lower performance, object poppingā¦you name it.
So I updated my BIOS, chipset drivers, and also updated to 581.08 from 572.81 (which was working fine on SU2)
8 hours of flying today was flawless. In fact, itās the best itās ever been (including FS2020.)
I know I broke the cardinal rule of troubleshooting, but there it isā¦
how about the online bandwith LOD ? for me its worst . with LOD 115 i gain blurry and LOW quality field of view almost everywhere with 1gb / s internet conection :)))
Hard to quantify that. But I was flying around the Cascades, and the detail on the ground was as good as ever (better, actually) with no object popping at all. Buildings looked great, auto traffic was crisp. That was with TLOD = 250, OLOD = 200.
Thing is, it seems like there is too much variability in how different areas look and perform.
Iām going to try some flights over NYC, London, Tokyo, LA, and other complex areas to see whether what Iām seeing now is just an illusion.
I finally called ASUS to save me from this install and we did an uninstall and reboot and downloaded their tested version 577.00, which installed OK. I am not changing that for 6 months if I can help it.
Also, the most recent stable NVIDIA drivers are 566.14 and 566.36; the last moderately reliable one is 577.00. Any driver newer than 577.00 is basically total junk.
