Hi Maniac, what is your stand regarding physx set to cpu rather than gpu in nvcp ? I've tried it out today and the game seems to run smoother, also my graph (Render.perfoverlayvisible 1) seems to have less spikes.

Told you a reboot should have fixed it. Glad to hear it's working, that issue was quite annoying indeed. 

Well the strange part was i didnt restart, i went test it to see if a restart was required, But since im here this is drected at you maniac:
I have ran stable OC settings on 285.79 NEVER crashing in any game after extensive testing, with the new driver im getting crashes due to OC'ing, i can confirm this cause its the same crashes that were happening when i was trying to OC in the old beta drivers(285.79). Im i correct in thinking some drivers are easier to OC on than others, or am i completly wrong? Im now stable again but with a lower core going from 880 to 865 on the core, its now stable on 865, i doubt ill notice the diffrence honestly in such a small drop but just curious.

I have a few questions. First one, I had my cpu at 4.2GHZ for a while at about 60c while playing battlefield3, but then I clocked it down to 2.9, and everything runs fine on high. Does core speed actually matter aboce 2.9?
My second question; is my graphics card good enough? EVGA gtx 460 768mb

[specs]
i5 2500k @ 2.9Ghz
1xEVGA gtx 460 768mb
4x2 GB DDR3 RAM
MSI p565 (or something, I don't remember)
Seinhesser HD SP somethings lol

Thanks in advance

I just tried a slew of other fixes online with no luck, I have been able to almost instantly recreate it every time I cycle through the graphic settings presets (low/med/high/auto/custom)

saer.

I only cycled through them once when I reinstalled the game, I couldn't even get through them all before it gave me the dx error.

Yes, still have plenty of room on the drive, so I knew it had to be something else.

Doing more testing now but increasing my pagefile seems to have done the trick.
