Stutters with Nvidia driver 536.23

[mmcmah 455]

I installed the latest Nvidia driver (536.23) last week and have encountered TONS of stutters on every flight, no matter the aircraft and no matter the weather or time of day. I rolled back to my prior version (531.29) and although I have only done one flight, I have had zero stutters since the rollback.

I ignored the warning that now pops up that you should update to 536.23 and all worked well. This is with DX12 and a 4090 card running at 4k with almost everything on Ultra and 200/200 LOD settings.

I also went back to 531.29, no stutters at all. For me this is the best driver for MSFS.

They run perfect for me, sounds like something else. Tried clearing your DirectX shader cache?

Yes, tried that as well.

I did a clean install of the latest driver with no issues with the HJET.

Maybe give it a quick DDU and see if that solves it

I might do that, but for now, I don't think there is anything in the new driver that I am missing out on.

There was some sort of DX12 crash fix within nvidia's notes but yes it seems like there isn't much of a reason to update.

I am running 536.23 without any stuttering.  I selected a "clean install" but I didn't use DDU this time.  Also, I don't install GeForce Experience.

Thanks, I think that next time I choose to update the driver, I will try the "clean install" option before the DDU route. I too do not install GFE.

Same here, zero stutters with latest driver.

Uninstalled the previous driver with the help of DDU. Now, the latest 536.23 works very well here.

I've not had any stuttering, I do think I cleared the DX shader cache

The clean install option only assures that the any profiles you've created are deleted. But to make sure that remnants of the old driver, which is the most important part of the installation, are effectively deleted, you should use DDU.
