Thank you for all the details! I’m looking at the NVidia release notes right now (see below).
It looks like:
- 451.48 was the first one introducing support for DX12 Ultimate.
- 452.06 has specific optimizations for FS2020.
- 456.38 was the first one introducing FrameViewSDK.
This is a game monitoring SDK included in GeForce Exp.*
It is interesting to see what they are adding over time!
PS: it took me some time formatting this but it gives direct link to all the drivers and this is very convenient!
PS: I’ve changed the list because the previous links were for the non-DCH drivers.
*I never install anything else than Core Drivers and PhysX and I’ve no particular knowledge about this one, except it is a new framework and some have reported uninstalling it via Control Panel > Programs and Features, is helping reducing stuttering issues. It looks to me this is the SDK GeForce experience is using to auto-tune the game settings automatically, and unfortunately not like you’d want. In effect, the auto-tune feature is considering FS2020 performance from a NVidia card perspective and is adjusting FS2020 settings to lower what is taxing the GPU, but as a pilot, you could end up looking at a very smooth and high fps FS2020 with blend and featureless scenery in the distance…
