having lotza issue with gc driver..

i5 760 oc 3.6g
4gb 1333 kingston
leadtek 460 SLI
win7 64 ultimate N

has been using all sorta driver from nvidia which includes the beta driver mainly for bf3. both gc heats too fast, around 10 mins game freezes due to overheat gc. any1 knows why how?

bf3 is awesome btw

One of the weakness in SLi setup is that the cards are too close together. Monitor both card's temperature, see if one of them is way higher than the other. If it is, then this card is not getting enough air due to being too close to the other

Unfortunately, there's no real solution to this, except to go for water cooling setup. You could use the 1st and 3rd PCIE-16 slot, but I doubt there's any LGA1156 motherboard with 3 PCIE 16 slots.

So, Patrick Bach gonna kill himself now, as BF3 Beta is far far far worse than BC2 Beta.

Operation Metro is such a shit map. It feels more like MoH than BF. Oh not to forget about the sinking to the ground problem.

I love BC2, to be honest, its as good as BF2 and 1942 for me.

They released the wrong map for the public to play doh.gif

They should have release Caspian Borders to the public, and their internal tester can have Metro to themself.

From what I've read, almost everyone who managed to play that map are actually impressed by it. Same can't be said about Metro. Some even swear they will not touch another rush map again. sweat.gif


I hope they realize this and open up the Caspian servers to the public if they want to win more customers.

abit worry of the finally release...the game seem alot of bug and their only have 1 month to fix ... hmm.gif

We don't know if what we are playing is what Dice have at the moment.

But whatever Dice have at the moment that's what we will get next month, I doubt they can change it anymore. They have to press the DVD disc, pack them up and start shipping them by now.

Most probably we'll see a patch right after release.

I can't find a single server with a slot...

When I sort the list by ping, all I see is SG Fragnatic servers with playable ping.

After that all JP servers, but ping all so high cry.gif

AU servers even higher ping for me

the server browser need to be optimised.  When i saw the server i played have few slots, i ask my brother to join but he was denied as battlelog view the server as full.  doh.gif  So maybe some server is actually not full as reported by battlelog.  rclxub.gif

That seems to be happening to me.

I see a server with several slots, click on it, click join, and I get a message say its full?

ANd that keeps happening each time I try to join a server that shows its not full shakehead.gif

Finally managed to install driver 285 beta

Previously stuck to 266, anything newer will BSOD

Turns out that the newer drivers dislike having my main card GTX 295 in the 2nd PCIE16 slot. It insist on being on the first slot, and the secondary card in the 2nd or 3rd slot, and finally no BSOD doh.gif

Time to play

Its supposed to be internal testing.

I guess DICE don't have any tester in Asia.

Finally manage to join a server.

Gameplay wise, I enjoyed it. Too bad there's nothing to drive in Metro. Still lots of bugs to fix though.

Things like falling through the ground is really annoying.

jeez... all caspian borders servers are locked.
anyone got password?  sweat.gif

The newest password I can find is this:
shoppingcartsareagoodride

They are constantly changing it, ever 24 hours according to the post where I got this password

And also I3D amsterdamn server use their own password. So any password posted online will not work for this particular server. Try others.

Wonder why don't EA run a bunch of official server here. Its so hard to find any slot.

Do they seriously believe only a few hundred ppl in Asia will play?
