October 11, 20205 yr It is good to update your drivers for better performance. Personally, I realised that when a new version of driver is out and not loaded, my fps values are getting lower with the old driver installed. I don''t know if I am too suspicious or is it a marketing strategy ? Happy flying... Intel i7-9700K - AMD 7900 XT (VRAM 20GB) - 32 Gb Ram - SSD Drive - Win10 x64 - Samsung 43" 4K TV - Quest 3 VR
October 11, 20205 yr My sense is a good part to most of the time 'performance' will not be affected meaningfully, unless something specifically was problematic w/ the specific software that was addressed in the update. After 30y of updating drivers I've never noticed much difference, IOW. How you can ascertain your 'fps values are getting lower' unless you run a specific MSFS benchmark and even then, good luck because unless you're locked frame rate will vary often moment to moment.

October 11, 20205 yr I'm getting better performance with the new drivers. Seems to be working fine, and no bugs introduced that I've noticed so far.

October 11, 20205 yr I have had it for a couple days and it seems to improve performance. 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 96GB DDR5 | 4K G-Sync | Win11 Pro
October 11, 20205 yr It reset all my graphics settings to low. No performance improvement noticed, once reset everything seemed similar to before. i7-10700K; RTX 2070 Super; 16GB; P3Dv4.5HF3 & MSFS2020.

October 12, 20205 yr I have been down the rabbit hole of constantly updating video drivers to the point of reverting to older drivers. If your frame rates dropped it was not because of a video card driver unless that driver had an issue like a memory leak. Updated drivers are released in order to fix known issues, add support for new games and sims, and to support newer video cards. Since I don't play games and such, just FSX right now, I find a driver that works well with my computer and leave it alone.
