NR2003 Freeze w/nVidia

by Me » Wed, 05 Mar 2003 14:01:15

Has anyone seen a problem with Nascar 2003 (and also 2002) freezing
for minutes at a time when in any menu with a 3d car moving (as in
Opponent Manager and picking cars to race or in Paint Shop? The screen
does come back alive eventually but can literally take 10 minutes or
so before freezing again. I switched from DirectX to OpenGL and it
seemed to quit so I am thinking it is a video driver problem. I am
using a MSI G4Ti4600 (128 MB) with 40.72 nvidia drivers (no
overclocking). I have not seen any problems actually racing.

Later,
Dave

A happy ATI user.

P.S. Have you tried other drivers?

That is what it was. I loaded the latest drivers (43.00) and all is
well again...

BTW, it seems ALL video card manufacturers have drivers problems at
some time or another (I have had problems with ATI, Matrox and now
nVidia)....
