I7 + Nvidia GTX 2xx = crash

[Raggz]

Looks like there is a problem with I7 systems using GTX2xx cards. Game crashes to desktop while arma2.exe is still running in taskmanager. There's a thread about it over at Nvidia forums here: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=106799

I just upgraded to I7 and i can't play ArmA 2. The game crashes constantly. Are you BIS guys aware of the problem?

Funny, I have an i7 and 200 series cards and no crashing.

Think that's a problem on your end mate.

Well, if u had taken the time and checked the thread i just linked to you would know it's NOT just on my end. Also try google I7 crashes arma 2...you will find quite many posts on the problem.

Which card and driver do you use and what's your setup?

Ignore the pseudo forum police Raggz its a well documented issue on here. Lots of people with 295+i7 spend a lot of time seeing arma2.exe has stopped responding.

HT "on" never caused me to crash (with or without -cpucount=4, it did cause some stuttering).

@ Raggz : It's all in my sig.

Hmm, i'm gonna try disabling HT though i'd like to keep the performance it gives though. neverthless, they should fix the problem., either Nvidia or BIS whoever the problem lies with.
btw, i'm using a Asus GTX285

F off, he didn't say 295, he said 2xx series in the title.

If it's problems with a 295 specifically, then I retract my statement as I don't own 295's.

Try reading the title.

Just put -cpucount=4 in your command line. I never had crashing but it did get rid of the stuttering.

Thanks, will try now. AND i didn't accuse BIS to be the problem. The link i gave is to Nvidia forums... i tried to pop the problem into the light!

It's not a problem, it's just the thread title is misleading as I don't have this problem with my i7/2xx series card(s) and neither do many others.

Sorry if I was a little harsh.
