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

what is ur gc temp when the game freezes? u might wanna do custom fan control to increase the fan rpm when it hit 60C bro. though it will sound like vacuum a bit

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.

lol you forget to mention most important thing in SLI which is Micro stuttering.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_stutteringDone a whole bunch of tests and research for Sli settings. those whose using Sli's should be aware of this.
Nvidia beta driver for bf3 is not stable for SLi. by using Nvidia inspector, found that bf3 profiles for Sli is not optimized for OC'ed GCs. yeap, overclocked cards (which includes factory-OC cards). mine heats up too fast and crashed before, same goes with some other Sli users worldwide experienced the same. What i did was to retuned the clock to standard non-OCd gcs (675Mhz for me 460gtx sli) and solved everything. this probably due to bad nvidia card profiling. dun forget to force alternate frame rendering 2

. ran on ultra quite good but i preferred low setting since cant spot ppl nicely on ultra.
just hoped that the released ver of bf3 would have no bugs.
