Just reverted back to 477.11. Silky smooth no issues.  536.40 was so buggy I had lagging loading of textures, FSLTL was turning airports into slide shows and I had constant CTDs.

Though I had not experienced CTDs after being pushed to update to 536.40, I did experience greatly reduced performance.  Prior to the update, my old i7-2600, 16 GB RAM and RTX 2060 Super kept chugging along in the 29-47 fps range with only an occasional stutter.

After the upgrade my average dropped to 20 fps (over the desert) and around 15 fps near even a small town!

I reverted back to 531.29 and everything is smooth again - locked pretty much at 30 fps no matter what the environment.  I will not change again unless it's stated as necessary to even run the sim and needed features.

I had horrific stutters until reverting back to version 531.29. Ironically MSFS likes this driver, it runs very smooth.

I'm still on 536.40 running DX12 and my last few flights have been super smooth. No problems at all.

Just this morning, the 536.40 started showing problems with sound, pops and crackles. So I went to the latest 536.67, no more snap, crackle. pop. Ran great all afternoon.

Why exactly is the driver version 535.79 recommended? Anything specific to MSFS with this version or did they just arbitrary chose one version?

Did you mean 531.29?  It was an Asobo post in the MSFS site forums and I believe linked earlier in this topic.

Pardon my ignorance...

How does one go about reverting back to the 531.29 if they're using the GeForce Experience program/app?

Would like to advise that this driver recommendation from Asobo was several driver versions in the past. The currant driver includes a fix for latency (536.67) that has been around for quite a while.

The 536.67 driver is giving problems to many people, so the recommendation to go back to 531.29 is still valid.

With the A2A Comanche I've had 4 CTDs out of 6 flights.  I'm on the latest driver.  Haven't been able to test other aircraft, but I've never had that many CTDs so close together. Don't know if it's driver, Sim or plane related.
