Issues with recent nVidia game drivers, and fix

I went from 531.29 to 536.23 and haven't encountered any problems but I use DX11 not DX12.

In the release highlights for NVidia driver v536.23, it says:

Fixed Gaming Bugs

  • [Microsoft Flight Simulator] Game may randomly crash when playing in DX12 mode after updating to driver 531.41 [4051526]

Based on that, I installed v536.23 and haven't a problem running MSFS on DX12 or on DX11.

All I can say is with 531.29 sim is smooth as silk.  I was having issues with the new one and frankly the previous ones.  

I've been having fits trying to get DX12+frame generation to run stable...never thought to change video drivers.  I reverted to 531.29 and my previous settings and so far two flights without CTD, where I was getting a CTD on every flight before with those same settings.  Might be a little early to declare victory, but it sure seems to have solved the problem.

Yeah, that would explain some CTD's I was getting for the last several weeks. Never have I bothered to revert/rollback drivers. Looks like I'm going to start AND not update until after others have tested this haha.

Great!  I'd say if it ain't fixed don't broke it.

Well, after having multiple CTD's over the last several weeks I have flown several flights (same plane, no changes, same flight plan) without any issues.

Reverting has helped so far.

Great!  Just to be clear, what version are you using?  Is it 531.29?

when i think of all the technical advancements Nvidia have made over the years and how powerful and very expensive their GPU,s have become , and the billions of dollars they are making , you would think they could make a small update to the NCP UI wouldn't you it still looks circa 2005 , ive just been tinkering on the wife's PC and AMD's software looks more modern and intuitive just saying !

I gotta be honest, I prefer the Nvidia UI. I hear what you're saying, it looks basic and a bit dated but it works very well, it's fast and straight to the point of what you need. Sometimes these modern web 2.0 esque designs are just clunky to navigate I feel.

i didn't say it was bad it isn't just looks a bit dated like my clothes lol 😃

536.23. I guess if I am still having the problem then I revert to an earlier version.

This is a place without judgement. Mostly.

Out of nowhere today I suffered a mid-flight CTD, followed by failures to start MSFS, usually about 80% into the start process when it reaches start of my TDS GTN addin.  I tried numerous workarounds over three hours without success.  I am now 60% into a complete MSFS reinstall, my first reinstall in about two years.  In the meantime I have continued to research, and came up with this. 

Odd, I recently updated to the latest nVidia game ready driver, 536.40, after MSFS kept exhorting me that my 531.29 was no longer adequate for MSFS. I am running an RTX 3080. Now MSFS is telling us to drop back to that very driver (follow the link below).   Good gr*$^%*^(^%(&^&!

Perhaps after the meandering it is appropriate to bring this back full circle.
