But does it fix the screen tearing?

Not for me. I get screen pixelation at the top of the screen when I look up and down or around. I am not 100% if this started with the MSFS update, the NVIDIA driver update or both.

For me it started in updating the drivers, I had to go back to the previous version 496.49

If you want to keep the drivers, you can switch from TAA to LDAA and those chess squares disappear, that's your choice.

I hope it helps you.

Greetings

I'm using this hotfix since it came out and no problems here.

I got this after SU7 update.

Then I did a clean install of the latest Nvidia drivers (496.76) and it was fixed. 

I'm not sure if it's the driver version, or if it's the fact that doing a clean install of the driver wiped some old stuff left over from the SU7 update.

So are you guys seeing improvement from older versions?

Did you use DDU for the clean nVidia install ?? 

I did a driver clean install ( no DDU ) but still the same screen pixelation at the top of the screen

This is another issue started with SU5

I didn't use DDU. 

But someone suggested to me that using Disk Cleanup to delete old shader cache could help. I didn't try that though.

I know, but at that time it seemed like people were able to fix it by setting resolution scale to 100. 
I'm at 130, but setting it back to 100 didn't help at all. 

And I've seen an influx of people reporting this problem after SU7, so I think something changed in the the SU7 that caused it.

Edit: What caused it for me was something really weird. I deleted Rolling Cache and rebuilt it. Loaded up the sim, and it had the pixelation issue. Fixed it with clean install of driver. Very strange.

True, I also observed that and wrote it a few days ago.

But now I have to say that I didn't see it anymore in the last 5 days and I haven't done anything with the drivers. Maybe deleted the DirectX shaders cache and changed a few times the AA setting but I don't feel like proposing that as a solution... very random to say the least, and that's maybe the reason why it is so difficult to fix once and for all.

Yep, it is strange indeed. For me it happened after deleting Rolling Cache and rebuilding it. I don't really see why that should matter, but it might have had something to do with it. 

But what might be relevant, is that Sphynnx, you (MrFuzzy) and myself (Republic3D) all have the exact same GPU, the RTX 3090.
