Sure, if you're only using MSFS as a bechmark tool.

I bought my 4080S (and 5800X3D) to run MSFS2020 at 60fps capped and with the type of flying I do, I can achieve that. Completely stutter free with a straight line in RTSS (frametime). GPU is at 50-60% and very modest CPU usage as well.

What nonsense! NEVER should you expect nor strive for 100% utilization of neither GPU nor CPU. That's hitting bottlenecks and should be avoided at all cost. You should always take measures to stay below 100%, either by lowering settings, capping your fps or both. You silly people...

Yes, the CPU percentage is an average of all cores. It takes just one of the threads to max out and you're CPU limited, or more preciecly limited by the main thread. That's why more complex aircraft gives your GPU more time to breathe. I'm sure work could be done to utilize all the CPU cores more efficiently, and I'm also sure the devs are looking into this for future updates. At least I hope they are.

If you aren't afraid of browser extensions, I can recommend Dark Reader. Works fine on most websites and you can easily toggle it off for those that don't.

If you're using Addons Linker, make sure all the AIG stuff is active before running the Manager.

I just upgraded from Windows 11 to 10 and couldn't be happier :)

No problems what so ever with this driver for me. I used NVcleanstall to debloat it. I did not install the app, instead I used nvidiaInspector to get DLSS 4 working. (Win 10 & MSFS2020).

Check that your RAM modules are properly seated and in the correct slots. The "Application Error 0xc0000005 (Access Violation)" could mean a problem with RAM.

That's really strange. One would think the GPU can't be bad if that's true. Heaven pushes the GPU to the max.

Download latest drivers, start in safe mode, run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), disable internet so Windows doesn't fetch driver automatically, start in normal mode, install drivers.

Indeed it does! And checking for updates only took 20 seconds 👍

I could get 2020 to start by disabling my network adapter so that it skips the checking for updates part, then re-enabled it again when the sim loaded. It worked, but going back to the main menu froze everything. MS and a bozo at it again.

They should remove the checking for updates at startup and instead have a notification in-game when an update is released. Why would you need to check for updates every single time you start the sim?! Just stupid.

Works fine here (Finland). There was even a surprise waiting when the sim (2020) loaded. Finally PMDG released the 3.0.108 update for the 737. WOHOO !!!
