Far cry is behaving very very strange
well there came the problems, just when I played a few minutes, everything would grind to a halt (freezes) and the colors and textures were all wacky, so I thought what is this so I restarted the game and all, still the same problem, sometimes it would recover from the freeze only to get worse with wacky distortions) I even got 2 screens of death? (its perfectly stable and I did flash my card but before that I played the demo with no problems on the highest settings, also all the other games before the flash were very good playable,) I have a MSI FX5900XT flashed with a modded bios (from jimmor Guru3d) 205x13 @ 1.9 vcore...temps are under control... Maybe I should flash my card back to the original bios? Also I can run for instance 3dmark03 for a hour looping with no errors at all, this is actually my first game after the flash, shall I try an other game or something? Maybe because its the aopen aolus bios, I thought it was compatible and they advised me to just try them... One of the BSOD's was Driver IRQL not less or equal...

I'll try that, btw I did loop 3dmark03 (nature and feature test) and didn't do anything weird, also I did the demo UT2004 (not the quality off the full game but good anywayz) and it also didn't do anything weird? Gonna try the low details......

It means you're unstable, probably the ram. This game is a great stability tester, i found that out. I was at 225fsb before i started playing this game.

It's also a resource hog. While your problems sound primarily VC related, this game does require 1 gig of memory, and if you've only got 512, that could also be adding to the problems. If you've got less than a gig, you will get choppy game play, due to virtual memory useage.

Guess I'll have to update my profile lol, I have 1 gig now, AND I know whats wrong...flashed my card, and the moment I got lockups and gibberish I felt my vid-card ram ouch!! that was hot so I think I'll go back to my old bios, they were soo cool then...(new bios lower latency's for memory, higer clock rate, but still more heat)
thanx Edit: I said its was hot but that was an understatement, I could fry my hamburgers on it lol
