Has any one else had a problem with this card and BF1942. It is great with everythig else but locks in BF1942. I have tried drivers from cat 2.5 - 4.1 (2.4 does work but does not work with many newer games) DX9 reinstall. Motherboard bios and drivers are the most current. BF1942 is most curent 1.6.

I had a boatload of problems with my old R9700 Pro (Hercules) until after about 12 months it died. I never fully solved *all* the problems, but I believe a lot of it was down to incompatibility with my mobo at the time (MSI GNB-Max) which, with the particular intel chipset, had problems with x8 AGP cards.

Not saying your problem is similar, but I read a lot of posts about similar issues (such as the infinite-loop error, which sounds more like your problem), and found a lot of useful info at:

Good luck.
