Anyone running it without constant reboots or ctd's with this card? It
happens in menus, on track , wherever. Hell. . . I was just thinking about
it one time (jk ;-)

Thanks,
DN

No problem here, so far. I'm using the latest Omega drivers if that helps.

I have a 9800 Pro XT and it runs great. Using the 8.04 beta drivers.

9800 non pro and yesterday I had a problem, but not today. My cpu was
shutting down due to heat buildup. I cleaned all the fans, vents and
heatsink fins with blasts of compressed air and it's good as gold now.
Try getting a temp monitoring utility and then running the program. Jump
out and check the temps. Good luck.

The first time I ran it it crashed but it has been fine for the past 2
hours.
Great game.

Thanks for all the input, I had a heat issue back in the summer but a new
fan / copper heat sink and arctic silver paste on my XP2500 brought the
temps down considerably . . . MBM showed 43c right after one of the ctd's. I
noticed there were some AMD owners reporting similar problems in RSC's forum
so I probably blamed the wrong piece of hardware.

To follow up and complete this post, the ctd's/reboot's i experienced were
due to my XP2500 being overclocked to 2.0 gb from it's default 1.8, a few
hrs. at stock clock with nary a problem
Now that I've had a chance to log some seat time I'll give my
mini-review..... Netcode is very promising ;-)

I'm amazed we still overclock things. Back when a P100 was oc'd to 105
that was a big gain. But with cpu's running 30x as fast...an overclocking
of much more than the then huge 5mhz gain, results in a comparitively
smaller increase.
I'm not picking on you Dino, just commenting on the existence of OCing
at all in these 2 to 3ghz days.
