Plane artifacts problem

Featured Replies

I've suddenly experienced strange fast blinking stripes going out of the planes (screenshots in spoilers). Shaders folder deleted, as well as full reinstall of Prepar3D. Video driver is latest. Could anyone help?

That is an older version.

Did you clear the shader cache when you last upgraded drivers?  I'd try that regardless--it looks like a video driver issue.

Deleted shaders before and after clean driver install, with no result. Also deleted Prepar3D.cfg.

Could it be some Prepar3D properties to a reason if the problem? FSX has no such artifacts.

Shader cache clean is great.

I don't feel it's anything to do with P3D itself, as @Bob Scott mentions the GPU / drivers are more likely.

I'm running P3D v4.5.14, being the final 4.5 version in combo with the Nvidia driver version 545.92 and I'm not seeing such artifacts, infact I've never seen such artifacts. Note P3D hits the GPU way harder than FSX ever did.

The GTX1660 is a fairly old card in the schema of how GPU tech has evolved, I take it you've had it for some time ?

Both CPU and GPU fans & heat sinks clean and functional ?

i.e. not full of dust choking the cooling.

Maybe reseat the GPU card after cleaning.

How did you uninstall the old drivers and install the new ones? DDU in safe mode is best. Then download NVCleanstall for the best way to install the new ones. A link to it comes up in DDU.
