Does anyone know if the Nvidia filters work with this one?
If you reinstall the drivers and then instantly launch mfs, you can use the filters. The game doesn’t crash
They are still not working with this 581.57 driver, but I noticed an improvement in sharpness in MSFS2024 SU4 version 1.6.15.0, I don’t know if it’s just my impression.
I just installed this driver and now I have flickering when moving my mouse, also when I exit a flight and choose “settings” I have a light blue landing pattern line …like a taxi line but have that setting off , strange
Not a good driver for my 5090: stutters and CTD.
Long time since I had a CTD tbh.
Reverted to previous driver .41(?), and recreated same flight: very smooth, no CTD.
This is MSFS, so might be luck/many other factors involved.
MSFS2024 SU4 beta .16.
No change in performance or appearance from the previous one for me. RTX 4090.
No problems with this driver in Lastest beta SU4 for me, with rtx5090 
3 CTD when loading MSFS 2020 “190_E658703.dll“ error
OK with MSFS 2024
I never install a new video driver if it does not specifically say it fixes something that may be giving me trouble in my applications. Just because it is “Game Ready’, does not mean All games.
3 CTD yesterday. Uninstalled and rolled back to 577 and working fine.2020 with a RTX 4070 TI Super.
Hi,
No issues here with this driver in MSFS 2020, MSFS 2024 or DCS. However no improvements either.
No problems either with driver 581.57. Performing on par with - (581.29 which was a good driver for me) - MSFS 2020
Win 11 Pro 25h2 Build 26200.6899
ASUS RTX 3080 OC10G
64Gb Ram
Samsung 2Tb 980 Pro (Game on this drive)
Seagate 2Tb HDD
WD 2Tb HDD
You forgot to mention that in MSFS 2020 you’re running DX12, not DX11.
I’m getting the audio crackling problems with this driver.
Often I get that after a sim update (currently on SU4 beta) but clearing all the nvidia, dx and rolling caches usually solves it. Not so with this driver.
Tried a DDU uninstall and reinstall, but still getting the sound issues (Not installing the nvidia HD audio, I’m using a soundblaster audigy card).
Gone back to the 577.0 Nvidia driver and all is fine again. This seems to be the best performing driver for my system, AMD Ryzen 5700X3D, 5060ti (16GB), 32GB Ram.
Installed on my 5080 and no noticeable problems in first flight (VR). Just wish they could make a hit list of all the graphics anomalies in sU4 Beta and fix them one by one.
Good for me: MSFS 2020 / RTX 5060 Ti 16Gb / 64Gb DDR4 RAM / 2Tb NVME primarily dedicated for MSFS2020 + many more HD’s.
In QUEST 2 VR - No traffic = No stutters at AP’s have the NVidia DLSS Override Model Presets set to Latest and Low Latency Mode set to Ultra, FrameGen 3x which is overkill and doesn’t operate within VR but top dog for 2D although I 95% fly VR.
There’s a new flightsim.to FSLTL low res base texture mod come out circa 45Gb>5Gb which I may try and see if that helps with stutters at AP’s. Will help determine if my 5yr old Xeon 6/12HT core CPU is culprit to that issue or lack of foveated rendering…I don’t have MSFS 2024.
Similar experience with 5090 on this driver but no CTD. Switched DLSS to 310.4 preset K but found 581.41 works better than 581.57.
