January 13, 20233 yr I started getting this error on an ever more frequent basis just after Christmas. I installed the latest Game Ready Nvidia driver and it seemed to solve the problem. Then around New Years the problem returned and was occurring on almost every flight. I made some changes to the Graphics profile in MSFS and the problem disappeared for several days. Then it reappeared on about 20% of my flights. I reverted both the CPU (i7-9700K) and graphics card (RTX 3060 Ti) back to stock, as from the factory, settings. The problem still occurs on a somewhat regular basis. Verified the GPU temp never exceeds 63-dgrees C. Just had the problem CTD after an hour of flying. The REALLY annoying part of the problem (CTD) in leaves Steam in a state where it thinks MSFS is still running but Task Manager shows no MSFS is running. I then stop MSFS from within Steam but when I try to restart the Sim - Steam says it is still running. I then have to stop and restart Steam to get the Steam/MSFS connection back to where I can restart Steam. Occasionally, like right now!, even after restarting Steam it keeps telling me that MSFS is still running. The only I can make Steam work is to RESTART windows. A real PITA! I never had the this problem prior to late December 2022. My hardware has been unchanged for over a year. The only thing I added was a new 48" OLED display so I can run MSFS at 4K.

I switched to DX11 with no other changes and have had no graphics CTD in four sessions and three hours of flight.

January 15, 20233 yr Now I am getting annoyed! I have my CPU and GPU carefully overclocked. I run all the 3DMark CPU and GPU benchmarks and stress tests with no problems, artifacts, or overheating. I can run GPU stress tests with TimeSpy Extreme on an endless loop with no problems. I also stress test with Kombustr4, NovaBench, Unigine Heaven BenchMark 4.0, and GeekBench 5 with no problems. But, MSFS is giving the Graphics error message before the initial splash screen (running DX11) I know how much I have to lower the GPU OC but why in the world can all those GPU stress tests run OK yet MSFS quits on me?
