Maybe this new driver will change that advice soon?... I can confirm that until now - at least on my system - the best driver was 457.30. However take youtubers' advice as a lead but do your own testing. There is also a lot of BS on YT. 7800X3D | 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL32 | RTX 5080 | Alienware OLED 34" | 1 Gbps fiber

March 18, 20215 yr jumped on it with my 1660s, see no real improvements in FPS (didn't expect much tbh on my old system) but noticed some more artifacts and grainy textures here and there, e.g. for shadows and when flying through fluffy clouds.

March 18, 20215 yr No improvement for me on WMR-OpenXR. All drivers have been the same. Haven't yet tried with steam-OpenXR
March 18, 20215 yr It is hard to know as some people may be getting genuine improvements just because they deleted the old driver that was badly installed rather than anything to do with the new driver. It does seem that most of the people claiming benefits are on 30xx cards not 20xx .

Yet there are a number of 30Xx users having tried and reverting to 457.30. I've seen quite a few posts about this at the FS2020 forums. And given Manuel's comment about how ONLY FS2020 is having peculiar frame timings... I would wait the next FS2020 update before concluding anything. Edited March 18, 20215 yr by RXP
March 19, 20215 yr Using Gigabyte "RTX 3070 Gaming OC" with "AMD 5600X + 32GB 3200MHZ RAM" and after performing some tests with 461.92 I decided to revert back 457.30 as it performs much better for me. Even on default NCP settings there is a considerable difference in terms of performance. A bit weird but it's the fact for me now. I wonder why most of the people gain on new driver and why some other like me not ? Kind regards. Edited March 19, 20215 yr by Tayyareci Faruk IŞIK

I would be interested to hear what OC settings you are able to get up to and what you find to be stable.

Also I tried overclocking couple of times but after some tests I come to a conclusion that it wouldnt be feasible to push my system for gaining extra 2 3 fps. Kind regards. Faruk IŞIK

Yep, the bit of mild overclocking I tried gained very little but became unstable, so I reverted to stock.

March 21, 20215 yr Back at Christmas time, I had to roll back drivers to 457.51 to get past constant CTDs that the update and drivers had introduced back then. I stopped using the sim after that... and I've just upgraded my hardware and re-installed the sim after 3 months, and what do you know... The latest drivers 461.x are causing CTDs nearly as soon as I enter the sim. FFS! I had really hoped that a few months might have improved things. Clearly not. 😞 This software is the worst.
