Is there any known or reported problems with the Ramppage Formula and the 9800GTX cards ?
I've had mine for a few months and I've only recently started playign Crysis and Crysis Warhead. I oringally tried with I first built this new system, and had random crashes. I blamed the game for being a little buggy at first. As I was able to play hours and hours of World of Warcraft without a single hiccup.
But I'm now back to playing Crysis and Crysis warhead and I'm back to video crashes or mini hangs. I get these Hangs under XP with SP2 and Vista 64 with SP1. I've tried about 5 different Nvidia drivers from 165 to 178.13
My wife has a 8800GTS. I put her card in mine and I can play all I want no problems. I put my 9800GTX card in her system which has a Abit IP35Pro board and it plays fine. Which leaves me to believe there must be an issue with the 9800 series and the rampage formula. maybe a bios setting or something other system driver, though I feel like I've tried more than enough variants.
The problem also happens in 3dMark06 if I set it to loop 3 times, it will normally lock up around run #2 or 3.
In Crysis, the error is the video will freeze or turn to color blocks, but the music continues to play. Since adding the latest drivers and 401 bios update, it actually came back to play, even though the textures were garbled.
Anyone here have any thoughts or things to try and test to see if I can narrow down the problem ?
Thanks
