Nvidia Driver 457.51 is Available. Reduced Stutters...

[kt069 569]

I was also facing drastic fps drops and stutters after the last MSFS update. I have updated my Nvidia Driver to version 457.51 , which seems slightly to reduce the stutters and gained fps.Will not make it perfect as before but treats a bit.

Worths a try. It is recommended to you also, if not done yet. Happy flying.

I doubt the graphics drivers could really improve the recent stuttering, which is mainly due to changes related to CPU usage in the sim.

What kind of changes? Did the latest update lower the CPU performance?

Asobo did a kind of thread optimization in the latest update. I had a very fluid experience before and now I have  short pauses and stuttering that did not exist before. The same is being reported by other users.

I have noticed degraded performance after the last update and significantly more scenery glitching.  Perhaps just specific to the region i'm flying in (Nepal) but something just seems off,.  I have also noticed alot of FSX default texturing on some of the mountains

I really enjoyed the first release when launched. Scenery was great and performance too. The only thing missing for me (granted a big one) was proper flight models in the airliners but that can be improved with payware aircraft down the road.

Thanks for letting us know.  I have stutters after the last update, so I will try the new drivers, as I am getting a bit desperate to get the sim back to how it was before.

Like edpatino says, I think it is sim related, but it can't hurt to give the new drivers a try, they can always be rolled back.   👍

thanks for the advice

Just a word of advice to people that upgrade their Nvidia drivers.  The upgrading of the driver may reset the Nvidia settings for MSFS and actually lower the graphics settings.  So sometimes the reduction of stutters and increased FPS isn't because of the new Nvidia driver, but when Nvidia changes the settings and lowers the graphics settings on a driver update. When you update your Nvidia drivers, you may want to double check your Nvidia settings to make sure it hasn't changed.

Very good news ! And I wanna believe that it will really wash my stutters away, for ever.

Can you also confirm that this GPU deriver update did not alter downwards your MSFS2020 settings ?

457.09 has been good on my end. Will certainly try this one.

Stupid question: are you one of those HT off user? If yes, did you try HT on to see if this resolves stutters? And do you have the Windows 10 Game mode activated? I have less cores, but HT on and Game Mode on and see no stutters after the last patch...

Looks like 457.51 is out today so I will give that a whirl and see how I get on.

[Republic3D 1,229]

457.51 is the latest driver, not 457.30.

[kt069 569]

457.51 is just released... 🙂
