280 drivers crashing in the game??? I was using my little overclocks and I have been crashing and I have been pissed. Reinstalled the game. I even reinstalled a previous driver, and it was still crashing!! Reinstalled the new driver... I noticed the scaling was not close together at some points.. Also something with vsync is wierd... off and on... I am not able to get high fps like I was previously... I am still not sure what to do.

No issues for me and I have overclocks running whilst gaming. What is your card and what are your overclocks?

if its not one thing its another..lol logging into this !@#$%^. I have two 570 sli running stock no problem. 785/1464/1955 no go, and 800/1600/2000, no go. Sometimes I can, sometimes I cant.... its only this game from what I can tell so far.

Try downclocking your CPU then test your GPU overclocks again. I know, I know, but even if your machine runs perfect with everything else, several people have reported here that a slight CPU/bus downclocking (.05 - .30 gHz) fixed their unexplainable crashing problems with Crysis 2. So it was for me.

Also, for what little its worth, the 2.80 driver was bumping my voltages differently than 2.75 did, and CPU utilization on the second card varied in in very odd ways.

Wasn't there a report of the GTX570s having voltage issues. Some manufacturers have released updated updated BIOS files.

LOL! OCing is your FRIEND in all games. You just need to know whats the limit on overclocking one card. Don't scare people like OCing is your enemy, OCing is bad. Why would OCing be bad when you get around 10-15 more fps boost? and also my card is overclocked from 822mhz to 1000mhz and i never crash the game... What do you say about that?

280 driver is a beta. I used it for the BF3 alpha and had to change back to the 275 driver to play ME2 again.

It can bring instability and reduce the life of your card, that's a fact. Overclocking doesn't come without risk.
