BSOD with 1.2

[Unimatrixero]

Just been testing out the new 1.2 patch and online was nice and smooth, but after a few races i went to change my screen res from 1280x1024 to 1680x1050 and the game went to quit, then i got my first BSOD under vista..

Ive never had a BSOD from any game before so i know its not my system, im not running ANY beta drivers, and the system is fully updated

You're probably playinh a little beyond the means of the graphics card by increasing the resolution. Since this is also the first time Track IR is being used with Vista, you might want to ensure everything is up to date there as well.

Grid handles fine (at least at 1.0) on 1680x1050 on an 8800 GTX. Unless there are major changes to the game graphically, I can't see how it would be pushing the card beyond its limits.

hmm never had any issues with games at 16080 in the past, crysis ran fine-ish but it still ran and had no bsods.


GRiD is now running at 1680 and it fine

unfortunately thats their standart-answer for bugs they cannot explain/fix. ! always this ****ing **** answer that someone is pushing his graphics card to hard and so on. and i saw here already more often that they were saying that a 8800gt or 8800gtx cannot handle the game at 1680 res. o_O wtf it seems as they are noobs without any notion in pc stuff. a 8800gt or gtx can handle grid without any problems with 40fps+ in 1680 unless you want enable 16xQCSAA !! but with 8xQCSAA and everything maxed out both grapic cards handle grid fantastic (only in reference to the speed aspect (40fps+)) and are strong enough !

@unimatrixero : maybe you havn't installed the bsod fix for vista ? for me it solved the bsods on my sys.

You're angry. Maybe you're pushing your graphics card too much.
