How smooth is the new NVIDIA Driver 596.36 in MSFS 2024 Sim Update 5?

In this video, I put 596.36 through a real-world flight test in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, focusing on what actually matters: frametimes, stutters, and consistency — not just FPS.

You’ll see:

Real-time frametime performance
Approach and landing smoothness (where stutters usually show up)
If it’s worth updating — or sticking with your current driver

Most people chase FPS… but smoothness comes from stable frametimes. This test breaks down exactly how 596.36 behaves under pressure so you can decide if it belongs on your system.

If you fly in MSFS, DCS, or X-Plane — this applies to you.
