January 27, 20233 yr I am currently running 522.25 as my Nviidia driver with a 3080ti. Is there any benefit to downloading the latest driver or a later one, specifically for MSFS? Thanks!

I tend to be of the school of, if it ain't broke don't fix it, but sometimes a newer driver can be beneficial. Sometimes not. I too have a 3080ti, and, a few months ago had some sporadic CTD's in MSFS using DX12 mode. I've since installed a newer vid driver and so far, no CTD's in DX12 mode. Now, I can't definitively say that the driver update solved that problem, but it is interesting. Sometimes with newly-implemented features, like the aforementioned DX12, there are in fact optimizations done in a newer driver which do not appear in an older driver version.

January 27, 20233 yr I have the same GPU and running the 517.48....I used to update drivers immediately but lately haven't even bothered... Eric i9-12900k, RTX 5070ti OC, 32GB ddr5 5600 RAM, 2TB 980 Pro SSD, Titan 240RX AIO, Samsung CRG90 49", Win 11
January 27, 20233 yr I used to always keep my drivers updated. Over a year ago I had months where I had regular CTDs. I essentially couldn't play the game. Finally they seemed to go away (likely an MS patch). Now I have a stable version that (crosses fingers) has given me zero problems in MSFS or in anything else I run. So basically I'm not updating until there's a very good reason to. When it does come time to update, I'll write down the exact stable version and make sure I keep the download so I can roll back if needed. ------------------------- Craig from KBUF

That's the driver I went back to, just today. I think it is a lot better than the one I removed (which was one version before the current new one). Seems I picked up a few frames. I think it was the biggest improvement I've had when changing drivers.

January 28, 20233 yr Running a 3080 here and I updated mine to the new one released in the last few days. No difference in performance but it did fix a few graphical glitches I was getting in my photoscenery packages. As always, if you upgrade and find problems ocurring, you can always roll back to your previous driver. I don't upgrade every time a new driver comes out but if I haven't for a while, I will (especially if something in the release notes looks useful or interesting in some way.
