My rig:
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (with deactivated SMT)
MSI Geforce 3070Ti (upgraded from a 1660 Super) resolution 3440x1440
My story:
After upgrading from the 1660 Super I did a clean driver uninstall with DDU and installed the latest Nvidia driver. I was able to switch from low / medium settings to ultra and got some more FPS. Now, the CPU was the bottleneck. 2 cores at 100% while flying and the GPU arround 60%, 20-45 FPS.
With going back to 466.77 I have now about 80% on 2 CPU-cores and 100% at the GPU with arround 10 FPS more in every situation, even at JFK.
It looks like with the newer drivers Nvidia is offloading some things from the GPU to the CPU which would run more efficient on the GPU.
Does anyone know if this has been reported to Nvidia yet guys if its an Nvidia bug? If not maybe someone with existing screenshots should post over there? I’m also seeing this, its very distracting for sure.
Just confirming something said on another forum: are all of us getting this issue with newer drivers using 1440 screens / resolutions? I am and I’ve seen several others are too.
I get this with my Geforce RTX 3070, and running at 4K ultra settings. Render scaling 100 and TAA. It was all the time since SU5, however I still had some old drivers and after updating to the very latest 471.68 - it seemed to be fixed!
But then I did an LHR-MAD flight and upon landing in MAD - the issue returned! I don’t know why. I have since re-loaded into the sim at different locations and it seems fixed again with no other changes. So I don’t know what’s going on… What I do know is that this never happened before SU5!
I sure hope they are able to fix it, and I know lighting may be minor overall, but it really does break the immersion
drat, I have been on holiday, and forgot about this issue, got home and updated to latest driver, the stupid artifacts are back. Time for DDU and roll back again!
There was an Nvidia person posting in the forum a little while ago in the main driver thread. I think if I were him I would like to keep a low profile!
Can confirm the bug is still present with todays latest driver, sort of chequerboard artifacts at the top of the screen, especially when panning the view…
I won’t swear, I promise, though I am absolutely sick of this now.

Add dxdiag.
Also take a screenshot of your game settings and nvidia control panel settings.
“It’s fixed for me” is a toxic, trolling response to an actual problem other people are having (see multiple threads). If you don’t have the problem or a solution, we are better off with you not responding.
