And she was beside me Ooh, she's not young Her dark red hair, her white soft skin
Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom, look She's coming in here I can't live through each slow century of her moving
The smooth hissing snakes of rain...

Check your GPU temperature and if your PSU voltage is staying within specification when the graphics card is under a load.

1. After a random time playing, everything 2-d looses sync, framerate halves, and the windows log is flooded with 'nv' errors. Using v-sync usually extends playable time...
2. Getting blue screens when enabling AA. (fine, can do without)
3. Loading takes forever. (seems to bother both ATi and Nvidia, discussing is useless here)

you see he got the same flooded error i got in the logs ..
another one lost his vga after this error hopefully after i got
that blue screen i formatted and deleted the game and everything
is back to normal now . way to go ubsoft

well that wont Intercede such huge error that is able to damage hardware
from a company like ubisoft or a title like far cry 2

i can tolerate with some graphics flows or some memory leak but these blue screens gave
me the creeps , i wouldnt dare coming near it again ..

i know it worked for some people , reason unknown but also i know i am not alone

edited : i even think it has something that mess up with the cards 2 d and 3d automatic changer
and it kinda set it to go on and off in an insane way that might drive the hardware
to get busted O.o
