Nvidia Driver

What version Driver is recommended for SU10 and DX12?  I thought I read there was a new one but in my Nvidia Experience, the latest one is from August. 

Intel Core i7 12700K (5.0GHz Max Boost Clock) 12-Core CPU   32GB G.Skill Performance DDR4 SDRAM 3600MHz       Graphics Processor:12GB Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, GDDR6x System   2TB Western Digital, NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive

despite this statement from NVIDA I am still holding back and determined to wait for the game ready driver

Whether you are playing the hottest new games or working with the latest creative applications, NVIDIA drivers are custom tailored to provide the best possible experience.  If you are a gamer who prioritizes day of launch support for the latest games, patches, and DLCs, choose Game Ready Drivers.  If you are a content creator who prioritizes reliability for creative workflows including video editing, animation, photography, graphic design, and livestreaming, choose Studio Drivers.  Do a little bit of both?  No worries, either can support running the best games and creative apps.

fenix is has unsharp displays for me. I need to zoom it extremely to get it sharp. Hope the new driver will fix it.

No it won’t as the driver cannot distinguish between glass display and the rest. MS said they would try to mark the displays to exclude them from the DLSS magic but that is still on their to do list

Leave it to Nvidia to showcase MSFS for the new 4000 series but not release a driver on the same day for a game they showcased

Well, the 4000 series cards are not out until October.

Are you saying that all of them are fuzzy? On mine, only the altitude tape, and the numbers in a window ( like HDG, ALT, Nav radios, Com radios, etc.) get blurry when they are changing. The other 97% of the displays and gauges look great all the time.

Based on their intended purposes, I wonder if the release of a driver version as a Studio driver before Game Ready was actually intentional.

For what reason then do you think?  I just think they do what they have to in whatever order they want.  It doesn't really matter much. 
I have used studio drivers on and off for years and they are fine.  Nobody would notice any difference if they were installed on their system I would bet, even in MSFS. 

There is a lot of BS talked about the studio drivers.  They may actually be better, and the 'bloat' thing is highly exaggerated. 
I would advise anybody to install them without a worry.  They really are not a problem, and are working great for me in SU10.  :biggrin:

Also the buttons are unsharp I have the feeling. They knew it and release it nonetheless, even the update was postponed to avoid half-complete releases? What's the point in postponing an update release to make it better useable when it is not better useable?

Maybe I missed it but when will nvidia release the game ready driver? Will it happen the next days or weeks? Otherwise i am going to download the studio thing..

If we install the current studio drivers now and the game ready drivers come out a little later, we can still install the game ready drivers without a problem, right?

There is something wrong on your side. My buttons and labels never get blurry like that. I have clearly readable buttons and labels in all AA modes and in both DXs.

That's right Rick.  You can over-write the studio driver with the game ready driver later, or do a clean install using something like DDU - but not really necessary, as they will simply install over the top.

I would say install the studio drivers and just leave them.  You will see no difference with the game ready ones if they come out, as it is the same fix, and they run at the same performance level.  The studio drivers are just more stable for professional graphics artists to use etc. but they are 99.9% the same.

The only reason to replace the studio drivers afterwards is if Nvidia do another update relating to MSFS sometime in the future.
You will notice no difference using the studio drivers, and the 'bloatware' thing is a bit of a myth.

@737_800  If the game ready drivers don't appear imminent, just download the studio ones - they are perfectly fine. 
I will say though that your issue looks more like a setup / configuration problem, but a new driver install might reset it for you, you never know.
