Hi everyone.

 

Just installed my XFX 4850 card. Graphics look great, but the game freezes after a little while. At first it froze after only 30 seconds. Now i set it to max resolution, but only med on all other settings. I also manually made the fan stay at 100%. I was driving around, played mission fine, but then went to the amo store and the steps were missing. I walked around the block and they were still missing. I could not jump through the door either. I hit esc and the menu cam up but it took longer then normal and showed a plain black screen for like 15-30 secs. Went back nt he game, the steps were there. I steal a car and drive down he block, make a left ad there are no features. Just road. I hit an invisible light pole and the game freezes. (light pole not shown but car is on side of road). The card never got over 44 degrees. I hit ctr alt delete and get nothing, although audio stops. I hit alt+tab and it starts again. Now as i write this (10 min later) the graphics just loaded and everything is normal, for now.....how do i prevent this glitch...ic an t be stopped like this in the middle of a fire fight. Is mycard unable to handel the load? When i benchmarked it went at 50 fps so i thoguht i would be fine.

Thanks

Your card should run gta fine, what are the rest of your system specs? You did do a fresh driver install for your card didn't you?

i downloaded the newest drivers from the internet.

 

I got a

q6600 (quad 2.4ghz [never overheats but don't currently have software installed to check it])

4giigs of ram (possibly over heading from the huge 4850 being in front of them?)

Brand new XFX HD 4850

Dual monitor (lcd used for gaming connected via dvi[2ms responce time], old crt connected via vga on right)

750w psu

2 dvd-rw

2 sata 500gb(mirrored raid) storage drives

1 ide 300 gb os and program drive. (i know i need some satas for the os drive as well lol

 

The card seems to run fine untill stressed but it is far from over heating. Any ideas? Thanks
