BF3 Beta was crashing, on max settings

[ThundrRok]

I figured it was because my graphic cards are overheating, any easy way to cool them better than turning the fans to max and turning down the graphics?

you could get a liquid cooling system. You could also get a better card more suited to what you want to do.

When ever i play it i always see necks being stretched when they are laying down, its really buggy

I'll post pics when i get back to my computer on how its setup,

Its 2 AMD 6990's in crossfire, much more power than I need,

I also figure, since they are stacked on top of each other and that I'm using the top on as the primary. It's not able to vent the heat as easily as the lower one... How would I reconfigure them to make the bottom card my primary?

Well 6990's are notorious for running hot when there is only one single card running. We definitely need some pictures of your rig. What case do you have?

As far as fans I wouldn't turn them ALL the way up. My understanding is anything past 75% won't make that much of a difference. I use Sapphire Trixx to set up a custom fan profile so when it hits a certain temp it'll increase fan speed. It's a line graph so it'll always increase with the temp. So it's not like once it his 30c it'll go to 35% and then 40C it'll go 45% it'll increase with the temps inbetween 30c and 40c as well.

My custom fan profile for Trixx. My 6950 never reaches over 50c with a OC of 960/1500 and 1200 volt over the stock of 840/1280 and 1100 volt. Though I set up a safety net for anything past just in case, I have a lot of airflow in my case though. Thermaltake Mozart TX VE1000BWS <--click. I use the 10 120mm fans and no it's not as loud as a vacuum as I use Thermaltake Silent Cat fans XD my hard drives, graphics card, and my heatsink fan are louder. :3

Hope you guys know that the majority of people crashing was because of the beta drivers. They were so rushed....accidents happened. If you wanted the beta to run smoothly you either had to tone down settings, or more often than not, lower the resolution. I ended up having to play at 1280x800 at medium-low settings....no widescreen quality for me

I actually never had the game crash on me >_> and I ran it on all high at 1920x1080..

Game was glitchy as hell yes, but I didn't have it actually crash. :S

liquid cooling, improve the airflow in your case

 

[ThundrRok]

I was able to run it at high - 1920/1080 np

If I get the same problem with the retail version i'll look into it more

If you were using the ultra settings I remember reading somewhere that beta was having issues there also. Can remember if it was a memory leak or what though. I would check things out once retail comes may have just been drivers/faulty programming.
