Anyone running it without constant reboots or ctd's with this card? It
happens in menus, on track , wherever. Hell. . . I was just thinking about
it one time (jk ;-)

Thanks,

No problem here, so far. I'm using the latest Omega drivers if that helps.

I have a 9800 Pro XT and it runs great. Using the 8.04 beta drivers.

9800 non pro and yesterday I had a problem, but not today. My cpu was
shutting down due to heat buildup. I cleaned all the fans, vents and
heatsink fins with blasts of compressed air and it's good as gold now.
Try getting a temp monitoring utility and then running the program. Jump
out and check the temps. Good luck.

The first time I ran it it crashed but it has been fine for the past 2
hours.
Great game.

Yep, been running it on that card with the 4.3, and then with the 4.10
drivers. No probs here.

Thanks for all the input, I had a heat issue back in the summer but a new
fan / copper heat sink and arctic silver paste on my XP2500 brought the
temps down considerably . . . MBM showed 43c right after one of the ctd's. I
noticed there were some AMD owners reporting similar problems in RSC's forum
so I probably blamed the wrong piece of hardware.

I have AMD and ATI with zero lockups so far(after that one heat one that
is) Only been on about an hour tho.

9800 pro, cat 4.10, no problems here.

To follow up and complete this post, the ctd's/reboot's i experienced were
due to my XP2500 being overclocked to 2.0 gb from it's default 1.8, a few
hrs. at stock clock with nary a problem :)
Now that I've had a chance to log some seat time I'll give my
mini-review..... Netcode is very promising ;-)

I'm amazed we still overclock things. Back when a P100 was oc'd to 105
that was a big gain. But with cpu's running 30x as fast...an overclocking
of much more than the then huge 5mhz gain, results in a comparitively
smaller increase.
I'm not picking on you Dino, just commenting on the existence of OCing
at all in these 2 to 3ghz days.

not picking on you either, but:

1.111

and:

1.05

so: overclocking from 1.8 to 2.0 means an even *larger* gain than
going from 100 to 105 (unless that was a typo and you intended to say
going from 100 to 150, because then:

1.5 ;-)

all the best,

nit away Uwe... :) I was hoping NOBODY was paying attention to the
specifics. I just pulled those numbers out of thin air. But the idea
still holds..With processor speeds so very much faster than the good ol
days...why BOTHER overclocking?

of course you're absolutely right, Dave. If you can go from 2000 to
3000MHz, it might make a noticeable difference (like in the good old
days as you said), anything else is just taking unnecessary risks in
my opinion, too.

cheers,

uwe
