Hey everyone, has anyone tried this hotfix?

I have and no issues for me so far. RTX3070TI

Yep, all good.

I tested the latest Hotfix driver comparing it with the previous two releases and the older 577.00 driver.

MSFS 2024
Higher = better

Lower = better

Is the 577.00 still ok to use generally (don’t drivers update vulnerabilities?). I am tempted to go back to 577.00, but is this ok with all the other games on my PC?

I mentioned somewhere on the forum that newer drivers also include security updates. As for whether 577.00 will work well with all of your other games, that’s something you’ll have to test yourself. Every game can behave differently depending on the driver version.

I decided to add a few more words about this driver.
The NVIDIA hotfix driver 610.82 is working well for me. So far, I haven’t noticed any issues (RTX 5090 4K). Of course, I’m excluding the known problems mentioned in the changelog.

I’ll also add that I have always been against using DLSS, but since this hotfix version I have set DLSS Override to M Quality in the NVIDIA driver settings, and it works fine.

The only thing that bothers me a little is the ghosting on moving digits when the Fenix or PMDG aircraft are climbing quickly. However, I think I’ll probably get used to it.

What I believe in is testing drivers by the players themselves and looking at the actual results. Also, Process Lasso is unnecessary.

If you want to discuss AI, maybe Reddit would be a better place for that. This thread is not about whether AI gives good or bad suggestions.

More to the point then:

MSFS2024 is not a typical game — it’s a massive DX12 rendering engine with heavy VR load.
It behaves more like a professional rendering application than a shooter or RPG.

This is why Studio drivers often perform better in MSFS VR.

True or not? Shouldn’t we use game ready drivers at all for this reason?

Good one! I can use that for my next patient that comes with an AI summary off his/her symptoms :sweat_smile:

You should test it yourself and see which driver works better for your particular setup. Every hardware and software configuration is different, so there is no universal answer.
