No, I don't see that happening on my end.

That's good to know in that there may be a work around for it in MSFS some day.  It's certainly not ideal or even good, but fortunately it does not impact flying and only occupies 0.002% of the display.

Check your Nvidia app, a new driver is here. Supposed to cure black screen issues, etc.

 

Though sometimes helpful its not always productive to blindly follow advice on this and other toobers with  zealous followers.

Many will imply they have the answers but time and time again the answers turn out to be very dependent on the setup of those trying to apply them.

or to put it simply 'your mileage may vary'  a lot.

Halfway through the process my screens go black and stay there !!!

Restarted and reinstalled but same result.

... which made me to remove the Nvidia app from my system.

not sure why we need a post for every single nVidia Driver release and subsequent lack of information in the first post other than another potentially misleading video, but as for the fixes the  "Supposed to cure black screen issues" is for 50xx series cards only....

Fixed Application Bugs
 

• [Adobe Substance 3D Sampler] Crashing at launch with R570 branch drivers [5083712]
• [Adobe Substance 3D Painter ]texture corruption in baking results from GPU raytracing [5091781]
• [VRay 6] Unexpected Low Performance on CUDA Vpath Tests for Blackwell GPUs [4915763]
• [SteamVR] Some apps may display stutter on GeForce RTX 50 series [5088118]

Fixed General Bugs
 

• [GeForce RTX 50 series] Various black screen issues [5088957] [5100062] [5089089]
• Audio issues when GPU is connected via DisplayPort 1.4 w/ DSC at very high refresh rates [5104848]
• Applications may display slight image corruption on pixelated 2D patterns [5071565]
• Driver stability issues when waking up monitor from extended sleep time [5089560]

If you are running DLSS4, makes a lot of sense to upgrade to this driver as it is early days for DLSS4 and the launch drivers have thus far not been good.

With this driver, I have made the switch to DLSS4. Not by using the NV App and not by using DLSS Swapper. 

Personally, don’t think DLSS4 (Preset K) is any better that DLSS version 3.7, let alone subsequent versions, but hopefully DLSS4 will continue to improve over time.

Yup, my PC black screened while installing the driver, had to force reset my PC, Eventually was about to boot up and the driver was installed, definitely something odd going on, I've never had that happen before.

👏👏👏👏👏

Avsim is turning into Patch Central. To the mods is there anyway we could have a dedicated sub forum for all updates and patches for sims, planes, drivers, operating systems etc? I'm not being flippant I think it would be a great place for all simmers to check for updates while also shifting the main forums back towards more general sim talk.

No, Virginia, there will not be a separate forum for drivers, patches, planes etc. Bob Scott told me ! 🤣

There already is one, it's here;

Installed the new driver and cleaned caches yesterday after watching islandsimpilots video.  Can't see any difference to the old driver TBH (not that i was expecting to)

Running msfs2024 with a 2TB nvme, 5800x3d, rtx3080, dlss4 (preset k) autofps and framegen mod.

Good point! And it’s easy to find the list of changes nowadays, should be available on the nvidia website when downloading the driver. Of course this might not be the case when updating via the nvidia app.

It may be just a coincidence, or wishful thinking...but I did notice my MSFS 2024 being more fluid and definitely more smooth.

However, I did get a couple of CTD incidences on different flights.  

We'll see.

It cured my black screen syndrome on my 3080, 572.65 hotfix.

566.36 drivers working flawlessly for me. That being the case, no need to upgrade
