PC Drivers & Software

Here is a link to my build: Link to my build 

This is the first time working with AMD anything, let alone, CPU and GPU. So here is my question:

 My goal is to install and run MS flight simulator 2020. I bought the above build with gaming in mind. A video guide on YouTube mentioned needing to install old drivers between April 2020 and February 2021 for MS flight sim to work. Now I can see 4 drivers for my GPU, here, 2 are dated 2020 and the other 2 are dated 2022. Is it possible I install both drivers? Will this cause incompatibilities

FIrst your PCPARTPICKER is listed as "Private" so unable to see your build.

Second you can't install 2 AMD Graphics drivers at the same time. Whenever you try to install the second AMD Driver it will overwrite the current AMD driver you have installed.

If I were you I would first install the latest AMD Driver for your RX6800XT and see if MS Flight Simulator works or not from here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-6000-series/amd-radeon-6800-series/amd-radeon-rx-...

If the latest has issues with the game then try installing a previous AMD Driver from here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/previous-drivers/graphics/amd-radeon-6000-series/amd-radeon-6800-seri...

If none of those previous AMD driver works than go to 3D Guru and download any driver from 11/2020 to 02/2021 from here: https://www.guru3d.com/files-categories/videocards-ati-catalyst-vista-win-7.html

The RX6800XT was released to the public on 11/18/2020 so any driver from that date to 02/2021 should be compatible ( 11/18/2020 - version 20.11.2) to (02/12/2021 - Version 21.2.2).

If I suggest that you install the last February 2021 driver version 21.2.2 for the best compatibility for your GPU card.

Ok, I tried running MSFS using the latest driver, and it worked. Thanks elstaci!

and yet AMD has 2 gpu drivers installed on my pc with the inability to remove the v20... but it blockes v22 from running.
